MAINTAIN RECORDS FOR CHILDREN

It is important to keep a record of the cancer treatment that your child receives and provide copies to all doctors or other health care providers involved with follow-up care, even as your child grows into adulthood.

This record should include:

• The type and stage of cancer

• Dates of diagnosis, any relapses, and when treatment ended

• Types and dates of imaging tests and any surgeries

• Contact information for the hospitals and doctors who provided treatment

• Names and total doses of all chemotherapy drugs used in treatment

• The parts of the body that were treated with radiation and the total doses of

radiation that were given

• Any other cancer treatments received

• Any serious complications that occurred during treatment and how those

complications were treated
