stress and cancer (1)

There’s more to stress than you might realize. It’s especially important to deal with it when you’ve received a cancer diagnosis or are in midst of cancer treatment.

How you handle the stress in your life can affect two important cancer fighting partners:

You
Your chosen health team
What years of research reveal about stress and its impact on cancer
How cancer progresses is consistently under the microscope. The impact that stress has on its advancement is also a concern.

For example, if you experience trauma, depression, or other distressing circumstances there’s a link to the increased development of cancer.

Immune System Fueled During and After Cancer (1)

A strong immune system could be your first line of defense. In fact, good immune health helps you combat bacteria, viruses and cancer!

You have the daily support of billions of immune cells. But it’s vital that you keep your body (and your immune system) properly fueled.

A cancer diagnosis and related treatment can weaken your immune system. The loss of white blood cells is another factor that can increase your vulnerability for infection.

Immunotherapy is in your corner. Basically, the treatment stands alongside your immune system to help your body fight cancer.

It functions the same way as your immunity does helping your body fight infections and other diseases. Its special forces include your white blood cells, your organs, and the tissues that make up your lymph system.

Biological therapy is another way to describe immunotherapy. Think of it as treating and defeating cancer with living organisms.
