Cancer symptoms and cancer treatment can both take a toll on your body. Treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery are often highly successful in the fight against cancer. But these treatments can also cause pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness.
Invasive surgeries to remove tumors sometimes limit your mobility. While many patients are able to recover well from these surgeries, you may find the recovery process harder than you originally imagined.
Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in helping cancer patients recover from chemo or surgeries. In addition to relieving pain and rebuilding strength, post-cancer rehabilitation can help you adapt to physical changes and learn to use assistive devices like canes or walkers.
After undergoing cancer treatment, many patients are physically and emotionally exhausted. If you're struggling to rebound after surgery, chemo, or radiation, you may be discouraged by the fact that you're not able to do all the things you used to.

Post-cancer rehabilitation focuses on addressing and correcting these issues whenever possible. Rehabilitation emphasizes regaining strength and mobility, along with learning to manage long-term symptoms.
