Breast & Gynaecological Cancer

We treat a wide range of conditions associated with breast and gynaecological cancer, including: pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloating, depression, anxiety, insomnia, vasomotor symptoms, fatigue, and lymphedema.

The goal of the treatment is

* To relieve symptoms.

* To minimize side effects caused by surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

* To improve the immune system, to improve sexual function and to restore health.

* Most importantly, to improve the patient’s quality of life.
