The Cancer Conflict: Conventional vs. Alternative Treatments

The Cancer Conflict: Conventional vs. Alternative Treatments

How do you choose your treatment? Conventional? Alternative? A combination of both (integrative)? Listen in as Tina & Leah discuss some do’s and don’ts of decision making that you need to know.

A film called The Cancer Conflict juxtaposed two newly diagnosed patients and followed each one as they went through their cancer treatments. One person started with conventional, the other one went with alternative medicine. This film inspired our discussion about how people make such decisions and how to strike a balance between controlling your own care and submitting to recommendations by “experts.”

You don’t have to have seen the film to enjoy the chat between Tina & Leah. As always, they use their extensive experience in oncology to bring you context and helpful lessons along the way.
