Tracking # 20-1048882
Course overview
Our current evaluation and treatment procedures of pre op and post op cancer patients needs to be rewritten. One in two people in the United States may have a cancer diagnosis. Karen Pryors journey with bilateral mastectomy brought her face to face with an outdated system of protocols, that warrant revision. The process of diagnosis, surgery and treatments are primarily fear based. Patients today, when armed with knowledge, demonstrate reduced anxiety and participate in their self care and have improved functional outcomes. Consider the deep history of your patient to determine therapy progression. In this recorded session, take the humorous and serious journey with Karen and discover how to empower you patients and yourself.
