Question 4

What’s so special about Oncology Esthetics?

With cancer diagnoses on the rise, there is a chance you are or know someone living with cancer.  On a personal level, I know people affected by cancer and I have seen some of the physical and emotional challenges of cancer patients and survivors.
Recognizing that people living with, recovering from, or survivors of cancer require special treatment is what led me to become Certified in Oncology Esthetics.  
Cancer treatments can be very hard on the skin, which is one of the challenges I want to help alleviate.  Additionally, studies show that the power of touch, such as through a facial, massage, or even Reiki can help reduce pain, improve mood, and reduce fatigue in cancer patients.

Question 6

COVID-19 and Cancer Patients. Are all cancer patients at risk, or only those in active treatment?"

Accepted Answer

Patients diagnosed with blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myelomas, may be at higher risk than those with other cancers.
Blood cancers often start in the bone marrow and disrupt the normal production of immune cells. These cancers may also affect the lymph system, including the spleen, thymus and lymph nodes, which help store immune cells and filter out impurities. And because COVID-19 attacks the lungs, patients with underlying chronic lung disease who develop lung cancer are at an increased risk of severe symptoms from the virus.
Cancer patients who are in active treatment for their disease may also have a higher risk, especially those on chemotherapy drugs.
These drugs may cause side effects that decrease the body’s ability to produce infection-fighting white blood cells.
