What if my needs change as cancer progresses or treatment finishes?

Cancer journeys are rarely predictable, so your care should never be rigid. We expect needs to change and will review your support regularly with you and, where appropriate, your family and healthcare professionals. If you become more independent after treatment, we can reduce visit frequency or focus on different goals, such as reablement and rebuilding confidence. If the illness progresses, we can gradually introduce more support, including longer visits or overnight care, and work closely with specialist teams providing palliative or end-of-life care. The key is flexibility: your plan can evolve quickly so you’re never left feeling that your care no longer fits your situation.
