Continuing our celebration of Occupational Therapy Month, this week we chat with FOX Rehabilitation's Cristina Klymasz, MS, OTR/L, CBIS, RYT, CLT-LANA, MSCS, who talks about incorporating yoga into her occupational therapy sessions. Cristina details how a team morale event at a yoga studio made her realize how much it could benefit her patients. Being the go-getter she is, Cristina got her yoga license—not with dreams of opening her studio—but with the main intent of helping her patients. Cristina admits some patients are skeptical when the concept of yoga is brought up. Still, the results are turning doubters into believers, especially with its numerous benefits, including helping patients with their balance. Cristina also discusses how she will be spending Occupational Therapy Month and what kind of personality generally gravitates to being an OT.

As this season focuses on Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD), we thought we would start with the basics. Today we welcome Melora Rennie, OTR/L, CLT-LANA, an Occupational Therapist from the blood and marrow transplant unit at Northside Hospital in Atlanta. She helps patients who are battling various blood and marrow cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, aplastic anemia, multiple myeloma and even sickle cell disease.Melora explains the reasons for and different types of bone marrow transplants, from autologous to allogeneic. In an allogeneic transplant, when you receive donor cells from someone else, you could face Graft Versus Host Disease. Acute GVHD occurs in the first 100 days after transplant. Chronic GVHD relates to problems seen thereafter.Chronic GVHD can attack many different systems in the body - from integumentary (skin), to respiratory, musculoskeletal, genital/urinary, neurological, ocular (eyes), reproductive, and vascular/lymphatic. Melora walks through the different presentations. Additionally, transplant patients may also deal with cancer related fatigue and social isolation, which are both important to acknowledge. Melora will also address medication and side effects, including the impact of steroids.In her role as an Occupational Therapist (OT), Melora is a key part of the rehabilitation team. She and her colleagues help individuals develop, regain, or maintain skills necessary for engagement in daily living and meaningful activities - everything from waking up in the morning to falling asleep at night. OTs can work in acute care, post-acute rehab, outpatient, in-home, or other settings.Occupational Therapists address functional limitations, related to an individual's cognition, activity tolerance, balance, strength, range of motion, and motor skills. They utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions in order to restore and maintain participation in the activities of daily life. When working specifically with oncology patients, Occupational Therapists want to ward off any functional decline that may be associated with cancer treatment. Related to fatigue, they assist patients with pacing and energy conservation techniques. OTs also work with cognition, pain management, and mental/emotional well being. These are vital components of patient care that cannot be overlooked. This can even include modifying a patient's favorite activity so they can continue to engage in it. Melora and her team also provide training, education and support for caregivers, a crucial part of any patient's health care team.We close this episode with the inspiring story of one of Melora's patients, as well as her advice to you and your loved ones, as you work through your transplant journey. There is hope and Melora will offer plenty of it.

About This Episode: Noted expert in the world of Lymphology, Dr. Paula Stewart, returns to the Our Cancer Journey Podcast to continue our conversation about the disease called Lymphedema. In this Part-2 installment of our in-depth interview with Dr. Stewart, Host Bruce Watkins and our guest open the episode by discussing how the network of Lymphatic veins works with the circulatory system to move fluids. The Lymphatic system does all of its work without the benefit of a beating heart muscle (so fascinating!). Dr. Paula then covers various ways we, together with the help of a trained lymphedema therapist, can not just stop the progression of Lymphedema, but how we can in many cases reverse the swelling and potential complications of this disease. Exercise, expert lymphatic massage, and using specific compression wrapping (short stretch bandages and garments) along with the correct wrapping techniques, are all discussed on this information-rich episode. All this, and some laughter-filled banter as well! Host Bruce and Dr. Paula make a point to break down this complicated topic into very accessible and easy to understand concepts so everyone can benefit from this information.SPECIAL Announcement:As mentioned in this episode, outside of hosting the Our Cancer Journey Podcast, Host Bruce Watkins is a writer, a media producer and a speaker. In one of his recent projects, Bruce was tapped to produce a long-form Lymphedema Education Video for the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center (UCCC) in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

About This Episode: If you've been diagnosed with a disease or had a major injury, you may have heard your Doctor talk about their focus on your “lymph nodes.” But do you know much about the lymphatic system, and how important the flow of lymphatic fluid is in your body?Lymphedema is the disease that could affect cancer patients or anybody that has sustained an injury that could disrupt our bodies lymphatic system. Because this amazing fluid collection system in our body operates so effectively, it's only in times when our bodies are compromised and lymphatic fluids begin building up in affected areas that many of us we learn of its existence.Dr. Paula Stewart, President of the Lymphology Association of North America, joins the Our Cancer Journey Podcast in this Part-1 of a two-part interview for the program. In this first episode Host Bruce Watkins and Dr. Stuart discuss how the lymphatic system was discovered, what it is and how it works, and the way the lymphatic system keeps our body healthy.Problems with the flow of lymphatic fluids can cause serious harm to our body, and people that have had surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and possibly immunotherapy to address illness are at higher-risk of developing the disease of Lymphedema. This episode and it's Part-2 companion are important for all patients and their caregivers to hear, because the topic is difficult for medical professionals to explain, and it's often times misunderstood by patients. Patients knowing the signs of lymphedema and seeking early intervention is critical to preventing the more serious affects of this disease. Host Bruce and Dr. Paula make a point to breakdown this complicated topic into very accessible and easy to understand concepts so everyone can benefit from this information.STAY TUNED for PART-2 of the interview with Dr. Stewart:COMING SOON - #018 - Lymphedema & Effective Lymphatic Therapies - Part-2 - Dr. Paula StewartANNOUNCING SEASON 2 of the OCJ Podcast!The improbably positive and up-beat podcast that explores ways to help YOU feel better, live happier, expand your self-empowerment, and enhance your life experience, IS BACK for its 2nd Season!
