Stress Management: Supporting Your Mind while Healing Your Body
A cancer diagnosis brings more than a treatment plan – it brings a wave of emotions. At Onco360, we understand that managing stress is just as important as managing medications, and we are here to support you.
A Few of the Common Concerns are:
- Starting a new medication or treatment
- Financial worries
- Changes in daily routines or independence
- Fear of the unknown
- Feelings of isolation
These feelings are valid. And while we can’t remove every burden, we can help lighten the load.
Here are a Few Simple Ways to Help Manage Stress During Treatment:
- Make sure to ask all your questions when speaking with us or your doctor. We are here to help.
- It’s important to eat healthy as nutritious food can improve your energy and mood.
- Exercise can really help your body and mind. Gentle movement like walking or stretching can help with anxiety and body aches.
- Give yourself permission to rest. Your body is working hard, it’s important to give it time to recover.
- Keep doing what you love. Whether it’s reading, painting, gardening, playing tennis, or just watching your favorite TV show – don’t let go of what brings you joy.
Just remember, you’re not alone. Finding people who understand what you’re going through can make a huge difference.
