For cancer patients, managing the side effects
is as important as addressing the cancer itself. According to doctors, side
effects can compromise treatment and even recovery. According to Dr. Maria
Luisa Abesamis-Tiambeng, M.D., head of the CSMC Cancer Institute, M.D. “The psychological scars caused by the physical
manifestations of treatment, like rashes, skin discoloration, blackened nails
and falling hair erode patients’ self-esteem and the will to fight. But
psychological well-being is crucial to a successful treatment. If cancer
patients feel low and miserable, their response to treatment is greatly
affected. So if the side effects of treatment do not bother the patient, their
treatment regimen becomes more tolerable, if not welcome. Products like Evolife
can help make patients commit to their treatment regimen and achieve the
ultimate cure. These innovative products can prove crucial in licking the Big
C.”
