Coping with the Psychological & Social Aspects of Cancer: An Integrative Approach

Cancer impacts the whole person – our mind, social life, and family life as well as our body. So it is important that we fight cancer on all fronts and take advantage of the full range of available therapies. On this episode of “Battling and Beating Cancer” we are joined by Dr. Janine Gauthier, Assistant Professor and Director of Psychosocial Oncology and Clinical Services for the Cancer Integrative Medicine Program at Rush University Medical Center. We will discuss stress, fatigue, chemo brain, psychological and social issues that impact cancer patients and how to cope with these challenges. We will talk about acupuncture, yoga, massage therapy, stress management, biofeedback, relaxation, guided imagery, and medical hypnosis. You won’t want to miss this “all hands on deck” cancer show!
