That time of year again.....

It's getting to that time of the year when the annual check up is due and despite the fact that there exists some evidence to suggest there are limited clinical benefits to follow up after cancer, the psycho-social ones are massive! I have yet to meet a woman who is cool to have no follow up care. Professionals and managers have no idea what relief and meaning follow up can offer people and their families, it's huge. This said I am not that excited about moving from annual checks to ones that occur every couple of years!! But I will handle it and if this does happen will regard it as progress for me. Reassurance is a massive boost and that's a big part of the follow up really... no harm in that!!!
