Cancer treatment focuses on your cancer. Who focuses on YOU?
Are You Ready to
Thrive through Treatment?
Cancer warriors face a few big problems during cancer treatment.
Cancer treatment is tough on your body.
While the treatment may be killing cancer cells, it is also causing collateral damage to healthy cells contributing to unpleasant physical side effects.
Doctors don't give you nutrition or supplement advice
that research and studies have clearly shown can make
treatment more comfortable and more effective.
Cancer treatment is tough on your mind.
A cancer diagnosis is a shock and before you know it, you're in the throes of treatment and just living from appointment to appointment.
Doctors often don't provide emotional support
beyond offering yet more medication.
Your medical team is focused on your cancer but once treatment is done, the support dwindles away but you may not be feeling like yourself. You deserve more.
Doctors don't provide you with a recovery plan.
Get out of survival mode and take action to access the information you need.
Let your team focus on your cancer and use
