Complementary Therapies

In addition to medical treatment, some cancer patients want to try complementary therapies. Complementary therapies include acupuncture, herbs, biofeedback, visualization, meditation, yoga, nutritional supplements, and vitamins. Some breast cancer patients feel that they benefit from some of these therapies.

Before you try any of these therapies, you should discuss their possible value and side effects with your medical doctors. You should let them know if you are using any such therapies.

Be aware that these therapies may be expensive and some are not paid for by health insurance. You should consider asking the therapist for evidence of how the therapy has helped others, possibly by giving you references.

CancerOption.com, the parent Web site of ProstateCancerOption.com offers extensive information outlining complementary therapies used by cancer specialists and cancer clinics worldwide. These therapies are designed to work in conjunction with traditional treatment options in an effort to increase efficacy of current treatments, prevent reoccurrence and sustain remission.

There is no "cure" for cancer; however, there are treatment options available today, which may increase life expectancy and life quality.
