Cancer treatments have come a long way. According to Dr. Jekwon Yeh, modern chemotherapy is far more patient-friendly than it was in the past, with fewer side effects and better options for managing symptoms. Radiation therapy has also advanced, with oncologists now using precise 3D planning to minimize exposure and reduce toxicity. All of these advancements are creating safer, more effective care.

Together on World Mental Health Day, we raise awareness of mental health issues around the world.

One simple way to help care for your mental health is to take a moment for self-care. Even just pausing to take a few, focused breaths can help you feel more calm and centered. Follow along with us and use this video to guide your breath.

If you are experiencing challenges with your mental health, it can be overwhelming to know who to talk to or how to seek help. But there is hope. Talk to your healthcare provider about what you’re experiencing. They will be able to talk to you about treatments, support groups and resources to cope with mental illness. For more information on mental health services or to take a free depression risk assessment, visit ahlink.org/3maXJ5v.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or has had thoughts of harming themselves or taking their own life, contact 911 or the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or visit ahlink.org/4bLiMDq.
