The Silent Epidemic Of Chronic Pain

For people with chronic conditions—whether lifelong or recurring—this article in Forbes Magazine offers a new perspective on surgical approaches that can help alleviate chronic pain and lymphedema. One of the surgeons we partner with, Dr. Joseph Dayan, is quoted as saying, “It’s not just about treating the cancer—but about living and thriving after the cancer treatment.”

This is a sentiment shared by nearly all of our patients. During treatment—while juggling medical appointments, family, work, and everyday responsibilities—the focus is on eradicating the cancer. But once treatment ends, adjusting to a new "normal" can feel daunting, especially when living with a condition like chronic pain or lymphedema. It’s encouraging to know that surgical options are available and that a dedicated group of surgeons is advancing research and care for these post-treatment challenges.
