Life After Surgery

For many patients, the process of recovery from cancer surgery won’t be a straight line from A to Z.

It can be long and difficult and pose its own set of challenges. There’ll be medication to take, side effects to deal with, and a need to come to grips with permanent changes to your body. In this episode, you’ll hear from your peers on how they managed the difficult transition from life post-surgery to life full stop. They’ll talk about the importance of giving yourself a pat on the back for small wins and treating recovery as a marathon not a sprint to help set yourself up for success.

This podcast was developed in collaboration with the Cancer Psychology Collective.
