Suffering from breast cancer, they “would rather lose a breast than their hair”

A sophrologist mother, an internship in oncology done during her last year of studies and the replacement of a colleague renowned for working with pregnant women and infants guided her career.

If Anne-Olga Poirel relieves both men and women in her osteopathy practice in -sur-, she has a propensity to take care of the latter. Endometriosis, fertility disorders, pregnancies… She likes to support them, whatever their needs.

Tending towards a gentle practice focused on tissues, she also works with women suffering from breast cancer. “ A special tab is assigned to them on my Doctolib space, bearing the name of the Champagne Breast Institute (Lise). » She receives them before and after surgery, to prepare them for it and to relieve them at the moment and then over time.

« Before the operation, I make sure that the entire upper thoracic strait is as relaxed as possible. “, she says. After the operation “ which has a big impact », she takes into consideration everything that can affect them. “ The shoulder or cervical, but not only. It can also be the digestive system. Some medications constipate, others accelerate transit. They create inflammation on the stomach, so the esophagus gets burned. I can delay. »

She’s still working on their scar. “ Layer by layer, to soften it. The idea is that it should not be a hindrance. » Which requires skill and delicacy. “ We don’t want a scar, even less a breast cancer scar, so we have to take it easy. » Finally, if she detects other needs in her patients, she does not hesitate to direct them to the most suitable practitioner such as a psychologist.
