Patients Talk About ... Complementary Therapies and Cancer

Cancer patients share their experiences with complementary therapies.

Note: These stories represent only some patients' experiences, and only some therapies. Many complementary therapies are helpful, but some may be harmful at certain times during or after cancer treatment. Always consult your physician before taking any complementary therapy.

For more information and research findings on specific therapies, see Reviews of Therapies.
