Restoring body image after cancer

Dr. Mary Jane Esplen discusses how all cancer patients, regardless of tumor site, stage or treatment, undergo a process of body image adaptation. Poorer body image is significantly related to poorer adjustment and quality of life.

This session talks about these impacts and provides some strategies on what you can do.
