What is a Survivorship Care Plan?

A survivorship care plan is a document that tracks your cancer treatment, follow-up care, and ways to stay healthy. It helps you and your doctors manage your health after treatment. The plan includes your treatment history, possible side effects, needed check-ups, and health tips.
