Reviewer: Jill Brace O'Neill, MS, RN-CS, PNP Follow-up Care When Cancer Is Gone When your doctor tells you that you don't have cancer anymore, you will probably feel happy. But you might also feel scared. You might be scared that the cancer will come back. Or, you might be scared to go back to school and see your friends. It's normal to feel all of these things. You may want to talk about how you feel to others. All About NatashaWhen Natasha was 4 years old, she had to go to the doctor because she had a lump in her belly. She had to have radiation [RAY-dee-AY-shun] to get rid of the lump. Natasha didn't like going to the hospital because it smelled funny and she wanted to be at home. But then one day the doctor told her parents that the radiation had beaten the tumor and the cancer was gone. Natasha's grandparents, cousins, and some of her friends all came over to Natasha's house for a party. Everyone told her how brave she was. She even got a cake! Natasha was really excited because she thought she wouldn't have to go to the doctor again. One day, Natasha's mom told her that she had to go to the doctor for a check-up and some special tests. Natasha was mad. She didn't want to go to the doctor. Her parents told her that they wanted her to keep going to the doctor because they wanted to make sure she was healthy. Natasha felt better after that. When Natasha went to the doctor, he checked her all over, especially her belly. He did lots of tests and talked with her mom a lot. After the doctor's appointment, he gave her a lollipop and told her that he would see her next year. After the appointment, Natasha told her mom that she didn't mind going to the doctor, especially if he gave her a lollipop.
