Feeling On Your Own After Cancer
 |
| Some cancer survivors describe feeling a sense of abandonment, and feel "left hung out to dry" |
Dis-Ease Means Unease With a Disruption to Self
Some cancer patients indicate feeling a lack of ease with themselves and their physical fragility that no-one is addressing or helping them get through. This unease really speaks to a need for integrated cancer rehabilitation services to help patients:- recover their identity
- learn how to manage and adapt to any permanent impairments
- have a regular exercise schedule that has been tailored for them and will help to overcome the sense of constant fatigue
- receive specialized physiotherapy to address movement restrictions, swelling and cancer related pain
- when necessary, have counseling to overcome the sense of being deflated, dejected and even jaded after surgery
Acquiring a New Meaning for Physical Activity
When exercise means lowering the chances of cancer ever coming back, it takes on a new meaning. As one patient puts it, "keeping her blood oxygenated" through everyday exercise is the best way to keep the cancer away. For her, exercise has become a tool for a second chance and the gateway for her to get back to living her life. Building up muscle mass that has deteriorated is another often challenging aspect of post-cancer physical activity, but the benefits of exercise for cancer management are numerous and encouraging!
