Cancer patients often benefit from incorporating other health practices into their lives, based on discussions with their doctors about the type of treatment they’re going through, their physical capabilities, and other physical conditions.  Many of these health practices can also help alleviate stress experienced by family members and caregivers as they care for their loved one who is undergoing treatment.
