For every physical effect of a cancer treatment, there is an equal psychological effect.
Most of cancer care is about the treatment: the surgery, the chemo, the radiation. Of course, this is appropriate but is it enough? Cancer care is just beginning to change and take the first steps towards being wellness-focused. We know that we are curing more people and people are living longer, fuller lives with cancer. Expanding cancer treatment plans to integrate stress reduction, diet, exercise, emotional and financial support is starting to make its way into mainstream cancer care. But we are not there yet.
Healing the whole patient is foundational to us at Field Guides to Cancer Care. That’s why we’ve created our Post-Treatment ReBuilds to a path to wellness. Our ReBuilds integrate diet and nutrition with ways to ease stress and promote a sense of well-being.
