  Christopher Wanczycki underwent multiple rounds of radiation and chemotherapy after being diagnosed with stage 3b rectal cancer in 2021. By the time those treatments were done, the retired project manager was in rough shape.

The article from MSN discusses the benefits of "prehabilitation" or "prehab," a proactive approach to preparing patients for surgery through physical and mental conditioning. According to new research highlighted in the article, prehab programs, which include exercises, nutritional advice, and psychological support, can significantly improve surgical outcomes. These programs help reduce post-operative complications, shorten hospital stays, and decrease the overall cost to the health system. The study suggests that by enhancing a patient's physical condition before surgery, recovery times are faster, and there's a lower risk of complications like infections or blood clots. This approach not only benefits the patients by improving their quality of life post-surgery but also alleviates the burden on healthcare systems by reducing the need for extended hospital care and rehabilitation services.
