Surgery for sarcoma is individual to you, and often quite complex. Rehabilitation after surgery is different for everyone, and you may need it over a long time.
Rehabilitation can often last between 1 to 2 years, but depends on the type of surgery you have. It’s important that you continue your rehabilitation programme to get the best possible outcome.
