Mind, body and soul

Throughout cancer, people may feel like their lives are consumed with going to appointments, taking prescribed medicine and undergoing treatments — all crucial to feeling better. However, medication and treatment are not the only ways to help your body feel good. The concept of holistic wellness refers to an approach to health and healing that looks at the entire person, not just the diagnosis. Health refers to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Many local programs can help you through the physical, mental and emotional stresses of the standard medical treatments throughout your cancer journey.
