🎗️ NEWLY DIAGNOSED: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BODY & RECOVERY

A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming—and suddenly you're being asked to make decisions about treatment, surgery, radiation, medications, and recovery.

But what about your body?

Join a breast cancer rehabilitation physical therapist for an approachable conversation about what to expect physically throughout treatment and how physical therapy can support you along the way.

We'll talk about:

  • What changes you may notice in your body during treatment

  • How surgery and treatment can affect movement, strength, posture, and energy

  • What you can safely do to stay active

  • Lymphedema: what it is, what your actual risk means, and what to watch for

  • Why preparing your body before surgery may be helpful

  • When to ask for help—and when breast cancer rehab may be appropriate

  • Your questions about your body, movement, and recovery

You don't have to wait until something hurts to get support.

Come learn what you can do to feel more prepared, informed, and connected to your body throughout treatment.
