In reality, it can be the beginning of another difficult chapter. Durban North\u2019s Angie Calo wants women to know that recovery deserves just as much care, support and attention.<\/p>\n<p>There may be wounds to heal, movement to regain, strength to rebuild and a changed body to come to terms with. There can also be questions about what is safe to do, when to start exercising again and whether the discomfort they are experiencing is simply something they have to live with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBreast cancer doesn\u2019t end when you leave the operating theatre,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is the start of a new journey, and women deserve to feel supported throughout that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is a message that sits at the heart of Angie\u2019s work in health and wellness, where she has spent decades helping people take better care of themselves and recover from health challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Her particular passion is the often-overlooked space between medical treatment and getting back to everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>For a woman recovering from breast surgery, that can mean something as simple as regaining comfortable movement or rebuilding confidence in her body. It can mean understanding how to care for a wound, knowing when to seek advice or having someone explain what recovery might look like.<\/p>\n<p>Angie believes that information can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50326\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-50326 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-340x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-340x400.jpg 340w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-869x1024.jpg 869w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-768x905.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-357x420.jpg 357w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-696x820.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888-1068x1258.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/Get-It-Ozone-Therapy-2-rotated-e1789987775888.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ben Myburgh Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing is that women communicate with their medical team,\u201d she says. \u201cEveryone\u2019s recovery is different, and we need to understand where that person is in her healing journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is why she does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.<\/p>\n<p>Some women may be ready to introduce gentle movement relatively soon, while others may still be dealing with stitches, wounds, pain or restrictions. The starting point should always be guided by the woman\u2019s medical team and her own recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA doctor\u2019s clearance gives us important information so that we can support them safely,\u201d Angie says.<\/p>\n<p>For Angie, movement is not about pushing women to get back to where they were as quickly as possible. It is about helping them gradually regain independence and confidence in what their bodies can do.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to the emotional side of recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Breast cancer can change the way a woman sees herself. Surgery may leave physical reminders of what she has been through, while the fear and uncertainty surrounding a diagnosis can linger long after treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, simply being able to talk about those concerns and ask questions can be an important part of moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Angie\u2019s approach is collaborative. She works within the care already being provided by doctors and other healthcare professionals, including occupational therapists, chiropractors and biokineticists. Her role is to complement that care rather than replace it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen need to know their bodies, prioritise their health and ask questions,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>That philosophy extends beyond breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Angie\u2019s experience in wound care, rehabilitation, movement and wellness has led her to explore complementary therapies, including ozone therapy. She believes there can be a place for complementary approaches alongside conventional medicine, provided they are considered responsibly and with appropriate professional guidance.<\/p>\n<p>But she is quick to point out that no single therapy is the answer. Her focus is the person sitting in front of her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWound care, nutrition and recovery are incredibly important,\u201d she says. \u201cMy focus is always on supporting the patient as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That bigger-picture approach is also behind Angie\u2019s long-term dream of creating a wellness institute where people recovering from illness or medical procedures can access more comprehensive support.<\/p>\n<p>For now, her message is one she hopes will reach women far beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month.<\/p>\n<p>She wants women to become comfortable with asking questions, understanding their bodies and taking an active role in their health rather than simply accepting that feeling uncomfortable, uncertain or frightened is part of the process.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50328\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50328\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/HIGHER-REScmyk-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/HIGHER-REScmyk-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/HIGHER-REScmyk-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/HIGHER-REScmyk-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/HIGHER-REScmyk-696x1045.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/09\/HIGHER-REScmyk.jpg 719w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Brendan Croft, Jacket: Bush Whisper Shop, Hair: The Hair Butler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Her journey as a Mrs South Africa Top 30 finalist has given her another platform to share that message and advocate for women\u2019s health.
