Cancer treatment in focus: naturopathy and psychosocial support

Freudenstadt, Deutschland - A record interest at the infonely afternoon of the breast center in the Freudenstadt district! The event attracted more visitors than ever, and the team was overwhelmed by the response. Chief physician Peter Seropian emphasizes that cancer treatment goes far beyond medication. The lectures on accompanying topics of cancer treatment were the main attraction, in particular the lecture on naturopathic side effect management during and after chemotherapy.

Claudia Hänle, senior physician for gynecological oncology, presented innovative approaches how naturopathy can be combined with medical chemotherapy. Ionut Marcel Cobec, senior physician at the breast center, informed about the latest developments in breast cancer treatment. These progress are part of a comprehensive accompanying network that also includes psychosocial support. Helena Schütze, graduate psycho-oncologist, spoke about the emotional challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings, and offered the audience proactive coping strategies.

support for children in times of crisis

A central topic was the support of children whose parents are seriously ill. Chief physician Seropian and his team know that not only the patients, but also their families need help. Diana Schmid from the Malteser Hilfsdienst and Heike Wagner-Esch from the Eigen-Sinn Foundation presented programs that offer children support for children during this difficult time. The Maltese offer a hospice group for children, while the butterfly group of the foundation creates a safe space for the exchange of fears and feelings.

Seropian emphasizes that the clinic is particularly strong in times of crisis, since the personal atmosphere and trust between patients and employees are decisive. At the end of the afternoon, the self -help group "women after cancer" handed over homemade heart pillows that not only offer physical comfort, but also donate comfort. "This is valuable," says the team of the breast center.
