If you have had cancer before, you have a higher risk of developing it than someone who has never had cancer. This is why you need to stay healthy. Do the following things to protect your health after your cancer treatment ends.

1. Go for regular health check-ups

Try to follow your doctor's recommendations as these tests can screen for cancer recurrence or new cancers early. Listen to your body and see a doctor if you feel anything unusual.
