But not all cancer patients die; some of them survive and go on to lead an uneventful life in the years that follow. However, even survival comes at a huge cost, and I’m not just talking about the medical bills that run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Patients have to undergo surgery and then go through a number of painful chemotherapy or radiation cycles in order to remove every trace of the cancerous growth, and the most tragic aspect of this is that they’re not sure if they will be cured. When they’re cured however, they need to get back to a normal life at the earliest, and to this end, physical and occupational therapists play an important role in the lives of cancer survivors.

Physical therapists help cancer patients cope with the physical ravages wrought by the disease – they examine the patient and evaluate them for muscle strength, mobility and joint range of motion before designing therapeutic exercise routines that help them increase their range of motion, improve endurance, enhance coordination, and boost mobility so that everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs and moving from place to place become easier. PTs also help cancer patients find relief from aches and pains and other side effects of chemotherapy through massage, traction, hydrotherapy, and the application of hot or cold compresses. Patients work with therapists on a daily basis until they’re able to do their exercises on their own or with the help of a caregiver, in which case, they visit the PT once a week or as required.

Occupational therapists help patients in getting back to their routine lives; when illness strikes, depending on its severity, it may leave you physically and/or mentally handicapped. An OT helps in evaluating cancer patients’ ability to care for themselves and go through their daily routine without too much effort. Tasks may include even basic things such as brushing teeth, bathing, dressing and undressing and eating, and routine activities around the home like cooking, cleaning and washing. An occupational therapist determines if the patient has to re-learn various tasks or if they need adaptive equipment to be able to perform them effectively and safely. He or she also determines if the homes of cancer patients must be modified to include handrails, ramps and other such appliances.

The extent and duration of rehabilitation depend on the type of cancer and how severely it has affected the patient. Each survivor has a tailor-made therapy routine that they continue for as long as needed.

1. Shrimp : Choose this shellfish as your next appetizer or entrée. Its shells contain high levels of glucosamine, a known vitamin to help combat inflammation of the joints. The same is true for shells of lobsters or crab. They also contain high levels of selenium and are a low fat source of protein. 2. Salmon : If unable to eat shellfish, check out this super food. A regular of “top foods” list, salmon is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids that have benefits for weight, heart health, and of course, joints. In fact, the fat composition of salmon has recently been evaluated as superior not only because of its rich omega 3 content, but also because of its great ratio of omega 3s to omega 6s and its health-supportive balance of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. 3. Almonds : If you are a vegan looking to improve their joint health, this is the food for you. Almonds are also high in the omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil : Because extra virgin olive oil is derived from the first pressing of olives, it has the most antioxidant benefits.

Simply use it instead of butter or other oils when cooking or as a topping for salads. 6. Bell Peppers : All peppers are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, but red peppers are the best choice, including for naturally fighting joint pain.

Dairy : In an entry from PCRM Health, they tell the story of a woman who was completely cured of arthritis after eliminating dairy products from her diet.

If you suspect dairy may be causing your arthritis pain, try cutting it out of your diet or substituting for soy milk and other alternatives to dairy. 13. Saturated Fat : Because this is a main source of weight gain and has inflammatory properties, saturated fat can be a bad choice for those with joint pain.

Vitamin D : A research project by Dr. Michael Holick and others has found a link between vitamin D deficiency and arthritis. It followed a group of older women and found that those who had the highest intake of vitamin D also had the lowest risk of arthritis. The vitamin has also been linked to helping preventing certain cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and more. 20. Glucosamine and Chondroitin : Both of these vitamins are part of the cartilage found in between the bones and joints. Both can be found in seafood or are available as supplements.
