When you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you quickly learn that fighting the disease itself is only half the battle. There are also other impacts on your life—from side effects like pain and nausea to changes in your relationships to learning to manage long-term effects as a survivor after treatment. That’s why it’s important to have an integrative care plan that incorporates side-effect management, social support, and survivorship into your cancer treatment regimen. On this episode of Focus on Cancer, our host, Pat Basu, MD, MBA, President & CEO of Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), welcomes Carolyn Lammersfeld, Vice President of Integrative Care Services at CTCA®, for a robust discussion on integrative care and its important role in the cancer journey.
