Treatment Plan
Create a treatment plan for an elderly, female patient who has been diagnosed with cancer. The patient is scheduled to have surgery in two weeks, and will begin receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy soon after surgery. Select the two CAM modalities from those presented throughout the course that you think will best meet the patient's needs as they proceed through treatment to assist them in reducing stress, heal from surgery, deal with the side effects of the chemo- and radiation therapy, and cope with the emotions of this diagnosis. You only need to discuss the two best CAM modalities for this patient and analyze their effectiveness in the given situation.
