Cancer treatments are advancing and changing rapidly. Cancer patients are often faced with complicated protocols, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. These treatments are invaluable and can cure many cancers, especially if found early. Dr. Khalsa spends the necessary time reviewing patients’ nutritional status and their over-the-counter supplements. Advise on continued supplement use is based on the patient’s individual cancer treatment protocol.

Dr. Khalsa’s focus is on addressing “the whole person”.  Her goal is overall wellness for the patient with cancer, while the cancer is being treated in the patient.  Many patients seek out additional therapies to help them with side effects and stress associated with conventional treatment. Dr. Khalsa will work closely with your cancer doctors to ensure your safety. She treats many common side effects, such as changes in mood, nausea, fatigue, pain and bowel discomfort. Patient specific treatment plans will typically incorporate yoga, acupuncture, meditation, and vitamin supplements (when deemed safe to use with chemotherapy).

If you are interested in having an integrative physician on your cancer treatment team, Dr. Khalsa can help you through treatment, as well as into recovery and remission.
