Working with a psychologist to reduce stress can help women with breast cancer survive longer, say U.S. researchers
Stress reduction during treatment for breast cancer can maintain a strong immune system and improve the quality of life, two factors that help survival.
They found that women who participated in a support group where they were taught to deal with your stress through relaxation techniques and problem solving, lived an average of six months longer than other women.
The study is unusual because although it is logical that the therapy could alleviate some of the stress of cancer treatment, few studies have shown that it can increase the survival of a woman.
Women who participated in the study had a psychological evaluation and therapy that helped them understand the stress, learn ways to deal with it, stay in your cancer treatment and improve communication with your doctor, situations that made them feel better emotionally during treatment and recovery.
