Learn more about caring for your whole health

• Food and cancer

  A healthy eating pattern includes a range of plants such as vegetables, fruit, beans, and whole grains. If treatment makes eating hard, your needs may be different. Ask your oncology team or oncology dietitian for help.

• Movement and fatigue

  Gentle movement can help many people, but the right amount depends on your health and treatment. Begin with your care team’s advice, especially if you have anemia, bone problems, infection risk, or heart symptoms.

• Stress, pain, and sleep

  Mindfulness and other supportive practices may help some people with distress or pain. The best choice depends on your symptoms and safety needs. Ask for medical help if symptoms are new, severe, or worsening.

• Supplements

  Tell every member of your care team what you take. Herbs and vitamins can cause side effects or interact with cancer treatment. “Natural” does not mean risk-free. Use a visit for individualized review.

• Living after cancer

  Survivorship includes physical health, emotional health, follow-up care, and daily life. Plans should reflect your diagnosis and treatment history.

• Lowering cancer risk

  You cannot prevent every cancer. Healthy habits can lower risk for some cancers. Avoid tobacco, consider alcohol risk, move regularly, eat a balanced diet, and keep up with recommended screening.
