Why complementary therapies are vital for your longer-term survival
Standard treatment isn’t enough
While most patients initially seem to respond to conventional treatments like chemo and surgery, all too often short-term remission is followed by a deadly recurrence.
Treatment-related side-effects
Standard treatments can leave you with debilitating long-term pain and/or major organ damage. Complementary therapies can help you address some of these issues.

What are Complementary therapies and how effective are they?
Complementary therapies include
a wide range of lifestyle practices, mind-body therapies, physical therapies, and supplements that have been proven, in some cases, to make standard treatment work better, reduce treatment-related pain and organ damage, reduce recurrence risk, and increase overall survival.
Some therapies can have a significant impact on your cancer.
How they may impact your cancer
Studies involving 68,000 cancer patients found that superior levels of exercise following diagnosis were associated with a 28%–44% reduced risk of cancer-specific mortality.
A study of 5417 women with breast cancer found that users who initiated vitamin D supplementation immediately had a substantially lower breast cancer-specific mortality.
