The Society for Integrative Oncology has partnered with CancerChoices to develop the attached Integrative Oncology eBook. It is for any person affected by any type of cancer - patients, caregivers, and the professionals that treat and help them - but it was designed primarily to be a resource for patients and caregivers. This eBook includes universal concepts that should help patients no matter where in the world they are.

It was specifically designed to be a foundational resource to accomplish the following:

1. Describe what integrative oncology is;
2. Define many of the terms patients may hear related to integrative oncology;
3. Explain the numerous benefits of this approach to cancer care;
4. Present the guidelines aligning therapies to symptom management;
5. Offer resources from sources that are rooted in science; and,
6. Give patients practical tips for how to afford and work integrative practices into their lives.
7. SIO hopes that it will help empower people affected by cancer to improve their well-being and treatment outcomes.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
