Relaxation can lead to better cancer outcomes

A cancer diagnosis, cancer treatments and cancer caregiving can all be among the most stressful times in a person’s life. That stress, according to experts at the Mayo Clinic, can have impacts on your body, your mood and your behavior. Some of the impacts include headaches, fatigue, irritability, depression and anxiety, drug or alcohol abuse, angry outbursts and over- or under-eating, to name a few.

What we know will help move the needle in Nevada is more than that -- it's policy, systems and environmental changes to help people prevent cancer, live healthier lives, and access health care to find cancers earlier when they're easiest to treat.

And we said that. Out loud.
