I am a: Patient | Caregiver | Refering Physician
Over 100 Texans have become sick with measles recently. To protect our patients and staff, we ask that patients and caregivers avoid coming in to our clinics if they have been near someone with measles, have been diagnosed with measles, or have any symptoms of infection like a fever or a rash. If any of these apply to you and you have a visit booked, please contact your clinic to let them know and book a virtual visit (telehealth) instead. Learn more about how to recognize measles and what you can do to stay safe. View More Important Notifications x

Stress Management

Stress is a part of everyone’s life. While you’re being treated for cancer, it is essential to manage your stress. Try these tips:

  • Try to keep changes to your daily routine to a minimum to help control the stress of treatment.
  • Avoid overscheduling.
  • Friends and family will likely offer to help. Don’t be afraid to accept their offers.
  • Allow yourself to say “no.”
  • Prioritize your tasks, and eliminate things that are not a top priority.
  • Continue to be physically active. Moderate exercise several times a week lowers stress levels and improves health.
  • Engage friends and family around you. You don’t have to fight cancer alone.
  • Support groups are a good choice for some patients.
  • Use creative outlets such as music, painting, or writing.
  • Relax with yoga and meditation.
