In treating cancer, we hear the term therapy and then we hear the term complementary therapy. Therapy I would probably hazard to guess everyone knows, but not all of us are familiar with complementary therapy. What is it, anyway?
Complementary therapy is not the same thing as receiving a free mint on your pillow, or a free breakfast. That's a different type of complementary. In cancer, complementary therapy refers to the treatment or therapy used to treat the side effects of therapy such as chemo and radio. A therapy for the therapy, if you will. This can be done as a massage, acupuncture and even aromatherapy.
