Keeping Track of My Care

Typically, you will be monitored during and after your treatments are completed. As time goes on, you will be receiving different diagnostic tests on a regular basis. Your particular type of cancer has a tumor marker, so blood tests may become an important part of your follow-up care, and a doctor’s appointment may not always be necessary each time you have a blood test.

On this page, we have provided a sheet for you to monitor your blood work throughout the year. Feel free to copy this chart if you would like to monitor blood tests over a longer period.  Also provided is a calendar to help keep appointments straight and organize your contacts.
