PSFU and PIFU
Personalised Stratified Follow-Up (PSFU) or PIFU
PSFU = Patient or Personalised Stratified Follow-Up
PIFU=Patient Initiated Follow up
Follow up regimes may vary depending on your cancer, how it has impacted you and your general well-being.
You may be followed up routinely or a mixture of medical or self-care management.
The team caring for you will discuss with you the required follow-up that is best suited to your individual needs. The follow-up may be provided in person/or by telephone.
This may mean that you alert your health care or specialist team if there are any concerns. You will be given information to help you self-manage some of your follow-up.
You can also contact your GP/healthcare team for help if you need at any point.
It is natural to worry about what will happen following your cancer treatment, or the fear of it returning. If you are worried please speak to someone who could support you, such as your Practice staff, Pharmacist or specialist teams
