Cancer treatment can be accompanied by pain, nausea, fatigue, sleep disturbances, or other discomforts that affect daily life.
The treatments offered at the Dr. Dong Clinic are never a substitute for oncological treatments. However, they can be used alongside those treatments when a symptom related to the disease or its treatments continues to impact daily life. The goal is simple: to work with you to determine whether a complementary approach can provide additional support. Each treatment plan takes into account your current treatments, your health status, your symptoms, and any potential contraindications.
At the Dr. Dong Clinic in Geneva, complementary approaches may be offered to help improve comfort and quality of life, always in conjunction with oncological care and taking into account ongoing treatments.
Each situation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether a complementary approach is appropriate.
Certain pains or feelings of discomfort may arise during treatment or persist despite treatment. In some situations, complementary approaches may be considered to help improve comfort.
Nausea may occur as a side effect of certain treatments and can sometimes remain bothersome despite the measures taken. Additional support may be considered depending on your situation.

Some treatments can cause various discomforts, including dryness or unpleasant sensations. Depending on the nature of these discomforts and your situation, additional care may be considered.
Illness and its treatments can also affect sleep, stress levels, and overall well-being. Additional support may be offered when these challenges become a significant part of daily life.
Sometimes, it’s not just a single symptom, but a combination of several discomforts. The goal, then, may be to promote overall comfort and preserve quality of life as much as possible throughout the journey.
