What are cancer-supported treatments?
Essentially, these are treatments for cancer that you can choose from to combat your symptoms and effectively attack cancer cells. These treatments include surgery to cut out your cancer areas, radiation to shrink or eliminate cancer cells, chemotherapy to help the body fight cancer, and other treatments. Some of them are even topical treatments.
Shouldn't you just let your doctor decide?
Your doctor should be a huge personal part of your cancer-fighting journey, but they aren't the only ones who can decide what works best for you to help you fight your cancer. Being aware of the many treatments you can choose from to treat your cancer will help you feel the most in control and will give you the best results overall. You'll be able to feel more confident moving forward and can also feel more in control of your own body.
Can you combine cancer-supported treatments?
Depending on the type of cancer you have, how long you have had it, your age, health, and other factors, yes, you can combine cancer-supported treatments. You may be able to take a series of less-severe cancer treatments to combat your symptoms without feeling like you are being ravaged medically. You can also choose to take a more aggressive approach to your cancer-supported treatments so you can fully tackle the issue and increase your remission odds.
Your doctor may recommend a certain custom combination of cancer support treatments but they may also allow you to make some choices on your own, within reason. Of course, you can also opt to not undergo any treatment for your cancer at all, although this will be heavily advised against.
Your cancer treatment options are many and you can have the best outcome by being diligent, listening to your doctor, and doing your best to stay positive and follow through with all medical treatments. Of course, having access to exercise and quality foods and lots of water can help as well, as your healthy diet and weight can also impact the more positive aftermath of treating cancer.
