“Congratulations! Your patient just finished her anti-cancer treatments successfully. Apparently, the woman is healthy. The MRI looks fine, the doctors are happy, and now it is time to ‘get back to business’ and back to the life she had before.” Yet for many women, this moment marks the beginning of an unexpected journey filled with complex physical and emotional challenges that create significant gaps between expectations and reality.
This course examines the profound impact of these gaps through the lens of TCM, exploring how treatment-related physical changes, emotional stagnation, hormonal therapy effects, and destabilization of Earth element shape the recovery experience. You will learn to recognize and address key patterns such as Liver Qi stagnation, Earth deficiency, and underlying fear and anxiety, with special attention to the impact of surgical scars on Qi flow and the management of hormone therapy side effects.
