After treatment for testicular cancer

After your treatment has finished, you will have regular check-ups, blood tests, scans and x-rays. These will continue for several years. Your remaining testicle will also be checked. If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms in between these times, you should let your doctor know as soon as possible. Some people find that they feel quite low and anxious once their treatment has finished.

CancerBACUP’s section on adjusting to life after cancer gives useful advice for men whose treatment is over apart from regular check-ups.

Insurance

After having treatment for cancer, it can be more difficult to get life insurance and travel insurance. To find life insurance it is helpful to contact an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA), who can find the best deal for your particular situation. You can find a local IFA by referral from family or friends, by looking in your phone book, or by contacting the Society of Financial Advisers or IFA Promotions.
