Stress is a normal part of life, but chronic stress can take a toll on the body—especially during cancer treatment. While stress doesn’t cause cancer, it can impact the immune system, inflammation, and even how the body responds to treatment.

The good news? Small daily habits like movement, breathwork, rest, and connection can help support both your mind and body. Managing stress isn’t about “staying positive”—it’s about creating space for healing.

Staying hydrated during and after treatment isn’t just about quenching thirst—it supports energy, digestion, kidney function, and even brain clarity. Yet, dehydration is easy to overlook, especially when dealing with side effects.

Simple swaps like herbal teas, water-rich foods, or infused water can make hydration more enjoyable. And remember, every sip adds up!

Support isn’t just helpful—it’s essential during and after cancer treatment. From emotional reassurance to practical help, having a strong support system can ease the journey. Whether it’s a listening ear, a shared experience, or a simple act of kindness, community care makes a difference. If you're in need of support, don’t hesitate to reach out. And if you know someone navigating this path, small gestures go a long way. Healing is more than just physical—it’s emotional and social too.
