While your doctors focus on fighting the disease, what about the rest of you? Cancer does not only impact the body. It impacts the mind and spirit as well. Your psychological and spiritual well being (including mood, attitudes, self-image, and outlook) are important to your healing and recovery.
The Mind-Body Medicine Department at CTCA at Eastern Regional Medical Center (Eastern) provides mind-body medicine therapies alongside your conventional cancer treatments to help improve your overall well being and quality of life.
“We want to put mastery and control back in patients’ hands as much as possible—because that is what has been taken away. We want to make them better problem-solvers, better at coping, better at reducing their stress, better at dealing in their relationships. Then, they will be better at handling their lives and cancer in a more positive way,” says Dr. Les Daroff, Director of Mind-Body Medicine at CTCA at Eastern Regional Medical Center.
