About this listen

In this episode, I’m joined by two extraordinary women: Cheri Henderson, a two-time breast cancer thriver, and Monica Kasari-Desulme, a physical therapist who specializes in cancer rehabilitation and lymphatic drainage.

You’ll hear how physical therapy helped Cheri recover from life-limiting pain, chemo brain, lymphedema, and post-surgical complications—and how it gave her the strength to return to the outdoors and active life she loves.

🎧 We dive into:

  • Why physical therapy should be part of your care plan
  • The role of adhesions and scar tissue in post-treatment symptoms
  • What the glymphatic system has to do with chemo brain
  • Compression tips for exercise, flying, and hot weather
  • How to advocate for physical therapy referrals during treatment
