October Is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Keywords: breast cancer

People with cancer want to do everything they can to combat the disease, manage its symptoms, and cope with the side effects of treatment. Many turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices. Some studies suggest that CAM treatments can help for management of symptoms for chemotherapy-related nausea, fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. If you are considering using CAM, be sure to talk to your health care providers to ensure safe and coordinated care.
