Caring for Yourself During Treatment

Cancer treatment can be difficult. You have many issues to cope with. Your oncology team, along with family and friends, are available to help.

• Get plenty of rest during treatment, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
• Follow your doctor’s orders. Ask if you are unsure about anything. There are no stupid questions.
• Tell your doctor about any medications, vitamins or supplements you are taking to make sure they are safe to use during radiation therapy.
• Eat a balanced diet.
