Synopsis

A Practical Guide for Anyone with Cancer — Before, During and After Treatment
Are you newly diagnosed with cancer? Currently in treatment? A cancer survivor who wants to play an active role in your recovery and health optimization? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

People often feel disempowered and overwhelmed by a cancer diagnosis, treatments and what to do after treatment. With this book, we want to put you in the driver’s seat, no matter where you are in your cancer journey. We discuss:

• Partnering with your oncology care team to design a treatment plan that’s right for you
• Integrative approaches to tackle cancer therapy side effects
• How to bolster your body’s innate anticancer defenses
• The supportive roles of food, sleep and physical activity
• How to manage anxiety, stress and depression
• And more…

In an easy-to-read, actionable format, Empowered Against Cancer lays out evidence-informed integrative approaches to support you through treatment and beyond.
