Cancer treatments can cause significant disability and difficulty with activities of daily living, which can impact cancer survivors’ quality of life.
Nearly 75 percent of cancer survivors experience cancer related fatigue, which may last from weeks to years.
The side effects of cancer treatment, including pain, fatigue and disability, have been shown to respond to physical therapy and rehabilitation. Good Shepherd’s Cancer Rehabilitation Program helps to minimize these side effects and to encourage cancer survivors not to accept a “new normal.” Therapy can be started if you are currently undergoing treatment, have completed your cancer treatment or are living with chronic side effects. Whether cured or in remission, cancer survivors deserve the best possible care, which includes help functioning at the highest level possible.
