After your treatment has finished, you will be asked to go back to the hospital for regular check-ups.

To begin with, these may be every month but they will gradually become less frequent. Your doctor will ask how you are feeling and will examine you. Your remaining testicle will also be checked. You may have blood tests.

From time to time you may also have a CT scan, chest x-ray or ultrasound scan. You can also see your GP or hospital doctor if, between your follow-up visits, you have a symptom which you cannot readily explain or is not getting better.

For men whose treatment is over apart from regular check-ups, our section on adjusting to life after cancer treatment gives helpful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after cancer.
