After treatment and further information

Follow up

After your treatment is completed, you will have regular check-ups and possible scans or x-rays. These will probably continue for several years. If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms between these times, let your doctor know as soon as possible.

Your feelings

The need for practical, emotional and sexual support will, of course, be individual and may depend on the treatment you receive and any side effects that the treatment may cause. Some surgery or radiotherapy may affect your ability to have an erection and to pass urine normally. Your specialist should inform you of any potential side effects and how to deal with them before you agree to treatment.
