Ep 13 Scar Tissue after Cancer Surgery – oh the pain and tightness!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
If you’ve had cancer surgery you may be familiar with the potential minimal to severe long term symptoms that can affect comfort, function and quality of life. Many of these symptoms can be precipitated by scar tissue. And that is what we are talking about today in The Recovery Room Podcast Episode 13, “Oh the pain and tightness - Scar Tissue after Cancer Surgery.”
Regardless of whether you have or had stage 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 cancer, we want you living as strongly, confidently and as pain free as possible. And regardless if you have 3 weeks, 30 months or 30 plus years to live, you deserve to be pain free and as fully functional as possible! I am joined today by cancer survivor and podcaster Christina miner. Christina is the host of be our scars speak podcast. We will discuss internal and external scar tissue, what it is, why it is how it can impact you and how to make it go away.
I want to know if and how you have been affected by cancer surgery or scar tissue so leave your comments or a voicemail at 414-373-0700.

Thank you. Very informative and am reminded to find a good physiotherapist near where I live. I do stretch every day but need a PT to check me out!

I know what she means when she talked about treatment during covid. I was diagnosed and went through testing and surgery at the height of the scare before vaccines were available. 4 year surgery anniversary next week. I missed out on a lot that is normally available to cancer patients.
and it was super-scary.
Had to go to every appointment etc alone with no support.
When my surgeon told me I had to decide (now) between a lumpectomy or mastectomy, I was crying. No sympathy. She just sat there and waited.
