I have chondrosarcoma. How do I take care of myself?

Living with chondrosarcoma usually starts with recovering from treatment. Chondrosarcoma is often treated with surgery that might involve removing a limb or section of a limb to remove your cancer. Once you’ve recovered from surgery, you’ll need to start a rehabilitation program to help you adjust to using a prosthetic limb or living with an internal prosthesis.

You might need help adjusting to other changes, such as how you go about your everyday life or changes in your appearance. Your healthcare provider will have suggestions for physical, occupational or mental health therapies that might help you cope with theseh challenges.
