After having surgery for cancer, how long till i know it worked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow up...: A follow up visit (or a number of them) will be conducted and possibly further tissue biopsy will be done. There are many tests these days to be sure the cancer is either gone, or in remission. It all depends on the type and location.
