    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is exercise recommended during treatment?

    Exercise is safe for people undergoing active cancer treatments, and is one of the best ways to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with your cancer treatment. Doctors thoroughly research cancer treatment options for their patients minimizing side effects for each patient. As a result of these efforts, patients will maintain a healthy lifestyle incorporating exercise into their lives.

    Is it possible to continue working while in treatment?

    Many of our patients do their jobs and maintain a healthy and productive lifestyle during their treatment. Our doctors are dedicated to finding the most effective treatment therapy to fight the cancer minimally impacting the daily routines of our patients including the work.

    Is it recommended to tell my doctor if I have side effects from treatment?

    Yes, it is very important to tell your doctor about the side effects to get good care and live a healthy life. You may be drained physically and emotionally by untreated side effect. Patient education plays a key role in coping up with the side effects of cancer treatment.

    How is cancer pain managed?

    A pain causing tumor can be removed or destroyed with chemotherapy or radiation. Medications are also prescribed by your doctor which are used to treat pain. If the cause of pain can be treated naturally, then the need of medicines can be reduced gradually.

    Why is screening helpful for early detection?

    Early detection is important to detect the cancer at early stage so that it is easier to treat. Diagnostic tests help to find out the symptoms that causes cancer. Once the cancer spreads it is difficult and hard to treat. Several screening tests help to detect cancer early and reduce the risk from that cancer.

    • Increase blood circulation
