I need some good advice. I will go to hospital next week and I will have one surgery. I’m really afraid. I want to ask somebody who maybe has similar experience How to facilitate healing after surgery of the upper body, cancer in particular? I don’t know anything about it. Thank you!

I have some experience with this. I can tell you that one of the key problems after upper body surgery is loss of range of motion in the neck, shoulders or arms. You can support your arms with a pillow. Your doctor will give you the clearance to do some gentle range of motion exercises Do them as soon as you can. Good luck!
