Why a Integrative Plan is critical for all cancer patients
One of the most ‘challenging aspects of my role as an integrative oncology doctor is working with patients who are navigating significant hardships in their lives.
I consider it a privilege to accompany them on this journey during such trying times.
Creating a Holistic/integrative Plan is crucial for giving a patient the best chance at effectively recovering from cancer. It is vital to have a plan in place early in the process to optimize outcomes.
Based on my experience, patients who establish a comprehensive plan from the outset tend to have the best results in their cancer journey.
In my role, I’m dedicated to assisting patients with formulating an effective plan. This plan can include all of the below or just relevant parts that suits your individual needs.
HOLISTIC/ INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY PLAN
- Additional testing to support a full assessment
- Circulating Tumor Testing
- Immune System Testing
- Precision Functional Cancer Profiling
- Conventional Chemo Therapy –
- Natural Treatments to enhance chemo’s effectiveness
- Natural Treatments to manage side effects
- Natural Treatments to protect organs
- Natural Treatments to support pain relief.
3. Conventional Radiation Therapy
- Natural Treatments to enhance radiations effectiveness
- Natural Treatments to manage side effect nausea
- Natural Treatments to protect organs
- Natural Treatments to support pain relief.
4 Targeted Immune System Support.
5 Nutrition and Lifestyle changes.
- Emotional and Mental Support.
Once a patient has a holistic plan, they have a road map that is their best option to return to health. The plan will also have appropriate check ins so we can see if we are getting the desired results.
I recommend every oncology patient have a holistic plan that includes more than just conventional treatments.
