Cancer rehabilitation
Medical name: Oncology rehabilitation
Overview
Life after cancer treatment is often described as the “new normal,” since treatment can affect your physical, emotional and mental health. Our cancer rehabilitation team is devoted to helping you recover and readjust after treatment, and to improving your quality of life so you can get back to the activities you enjoy most.
