• Can you recommend a follow-up care plan for me?
• What is my risk of recurrence?
• How often do you recommend office visits?
• Do you recommend CT scans? If so, how often?
• How often do I need a colonoscopy?
• How often do I need a proctosigmoidoscopy (rectal cancer only)?
• Can we discuss ways to monitor any long-term effects of cancer treatment?
• Where can I find more information about follow-up care?
