Congratulations on completing treatment and receiving such wonderful news about no cancer being detected! Managing pain that has worsened during treatment can be challenging, and exploring both physical approaches like gentle movement or physical therapy, as well as mindfulness techniques for pain management, may be worth discussing with your healthcare team. Many community members find it helpful to share their experiences with pain management strategies, so feel free to connect with others who may have faced similar challenges.
