Cancer is a very difficult illness to treat and one that causes a lot of emotional stress.  I don't treat cancer, but I do provide people with education about alternative or complementary methods of dealing with it so they can make better informed informed treatment choices.  Part of my goal in helping people with cancer is to empower them to take control of their health and start making their lives more pleasant and enjoyable.
