Why would someone consider complementary treatment for breast cancer?
Most women diagnosed with breast cancer want to do everything they can to regain their health. As part of that, they may try one or more CAM approaches to complement their doctor’s care. Complementary treatment can help some women lessen the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Some employ it to help reduce the stress of treatment. Complementary treatment also helps women with breast cancer feel empowered. That way they can practice positive self-care rather than relying solely on doctors for their health and well-being.
