Everyone knows that the mind is a powerful thing. For Edita, using Cancer Support Services strengthened that mind-body connection, leading to a happier, healthier life.

Your body responds to the way you think. That’s the simple idea behind the mind-body connection. And let’s face it. After a cancer diagnosis, cancer survivors may feel challenged by the negative feelings that follow them long after treatment. Sometimes, we need a little help to establish and nurture that mind-body connection.

When you receive a cancer diagnosis, the information that follows seems to flow at an alarming rate. Treatment plans, how many appointments you’ll need, where you’ll go to receive care, what to bring to your treatment, even where to park.

It’s a long list that can easily overwhelm patients. But the advice and support of someone who has gone through a similar experience can be invaluable.
