@nshaye, I agree with the others like @barondog. It's natural to think about cancer coming back. But first enjoy the "all clear" from the biopsy report.

Your cancer team should outline the followup schedule with you. It is different for everyone. Typically, your team will want to see you in 3 or 6 months. Your follow-up plan might include physical exams, urine or blood tests, and imaging tests (like MRI or CT scans). Of course, they'll also ask you how you are feeling and if you have any concerns.

Do you know when your next appointment is?
