Surveillance: need to be monitored for possible adverse events /complication related to the therapy that you received. your doctor would follow you up routinely, blood work, imaging study and lung test as needed. also age appropriate cancer screening needs to be updated.

More info needed: Depends on how long ago you finished your chemo and what agents were used and if you had radiation therapy. I would discuss this with your oncologist and studies such as cardiac echo and thryoid studies would be dependent on what agents were used. Repeat x-rays of area involved and or CT scanning would be considered. Good luck!
