The various phases of rehabilitation can be adjusted, with the goal of covering typical issues of that treatment phase. In the diagnostic stage, our psychologists help the patient to accept the feelings of having cancer. They will help the patient to find the strength to go through the treatments and also support the family members of the patient. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>After the surgery, our physical therapist will teach appropriate exercises to maintain muscle strength.
