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.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Ep 11 Being Diagnosed with an Unpopular Cancer – there is no t-shirt for me

When you add up the 4 most commonly diagnosed cancers breast, lung, prostate and colorectal, they still only make up around half of all cancer types diagnosed around the world. Leaving many people diagnosed with a less common or rare cancer. There is already enough potential baggage that comes with a cancer diagnosis, but for many it can be exponentially worse when they are diagnosed with a rare cancer or diagnosed with cancer in a body part that isn’t comfortable talking about. This can lead to silence, feelings of abandonment, shame, guilt and blank stares. And none of that is ok. In this episode of The Recovery Room Podcast we talk with a woman who has dealt with all of this after being diagnosed with a cancer, that not only is less than 1% of all cancers, it happened in a body part that can be a bit cringy to talk about.

This insightful episode 11 conversation is dedicated to the millions of people diagnosed with the rarer cancers. You may feel alone, but please know you aren’t!
