After you complete radiation therapy, your radiation oncologist or other medical professionals will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, look for late side effects and check for signs of cancer recurrence. Make a list of questions you want to ask members of your care team.

After your radiation therapy is completed, tell your medical professional if you experience:

• Persistent pain
• New lumps, bruises, rashes or swelling
• Unexplained weight loss
• A fever or cough that doesn't go away
• Any other bothersome symptoms
