All right. Well, come on up.
As Leonard lies on the table, Goyette places her hands gently on Leonard's shoulders. It doesn't look like much is happening.
I'm doing manual lymphatic drainage. We're going in and clearing out routes so that we can have more lymphatic fluid go through those same routes.
Most health insurers cover rehab for cancer patients, says Goyette, but she must often fight with companies to get more than the average nine to 12 sessions reimbursed. Breast cancer survivor Deborah Leonard says cancer rehab is worth it.
I had a six-inch mass that is now down to half its size. I'm sleeping at night. I have energy again. More people need to know about this and more people need to use it, because you don't have to be a martyr and grin and bear it. This works.
Leonard says she just wishes she had known about cancer rehab sooner.
