Oncology Rehab and Wellness Resources

"A stage 4 Salivary gland cancer prognosis resulted in a radical neck dissection, Chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapy. When I met Cheryl and her team, I was a mess. The entire team from the desk to the table jumped in and went to work. They were remarkable. The dedication and commitment from the entire team is beyond description. From a frozen shoulder to fluid in my face and feet, they handled it all. A year and a half after being diagnosed I'm back to daily workouts and running 2 to 3 miles daily. I’m getting back to my active version of me again. I can never thank Cheryl, Lida and Jocelyn for guiding me through some of the toughest months of my life and I will be eternally grateful. I absolutely love them all."

"It was my good fortune to have had Oncology Rehab and Wellness Resources recommended to me by my oncologist. I have been a prostate cancer patient since 2012, but it recently metastasized to certain bones. Radiation treatments and the use of narcotic drugs for pain had left me immobile and suffering from extreme fatigue. My friends at Oncology Rehab in Lansdowne, VA helped me to regain much of my mobility; rebuilt all muscle systems, arms, legs, core etc.; and greatly improved my balance. I had the opportunity to work with all the therapists and have nothing but praise for all of them. Every employee was very helpful, compassionate and personable. I recommend anyone who is a cancer patient and needs physical therapy to go to them."

"ORW was an excellent resource when I was recovering from surgery for breast cancer. Cheryl is exceptionally knowledgeable and caring. Because she only works with cancer patients, she is able to focus on their specific needs. I highly recommend her, as well as her team."

"I was amazed at how different this program is compared with regular physical therapy. I’m 73 and was very deconditioned from surgeries, chemo and other medications. My focus, energy and stamina were very low. I was motivated to maintain remission and that was enough to get me involved in the program which was tailored to where I was physically and emotionally. The instructors are wonderful and very knowledgeable about the issues involved in cancer recovery. Since starting about 2 months ago, I now work out with 2-3 pound ankle weights and hand weights. I have also incorporated the exercises at home so that I exercise about 5 times a week. That is a miracle! Maintaining health and remission takes work and commitment because the stakes are high. The staff here are very involved in long term sustained recovery. Our goals are the same. It is really a great program with great therapists."

"I am very grateful for help I received ! For more than three years, I could not wear normal shoes. My legs where swollen, and it was hard to walk. After a two-weeks visit to the clinic, I returned to normal life, and I can wear regular shoes. And most importantly, the attitude towards me as patient was kind, friendly, and very attentive. I was selected in the most thorough way compression stockings, which help to keep my legs in normal condition. The team is wonderful, the purity of the circle is perfect, and a lot attention ! Thanks very much !"
