After treatment
Thymic epithelial tumours
When your treatment has finished, you will have regular check-up appointments at the hospital for up to 10 years.
If you do have any problems or notice any new symptoms between your appointments, please let your doctor or nurse know as soon as possible.
You may feel a range of different emotions including anger, resentment, guilt, anxiety and fear.
These are all normal reactions and are part of the process many people go through trying to come to terms with their condition.
Everyone copes with difficult situations differently. Some find it helpful to talk to family or friends, while others prefer to seek help from people outside of the situation.
