Integrative/Complementary Care
Finding Your Own Path
​
There is no predetermined path to take when it comes to using complementary therapies with medical treatment for gynecologic cancer. Each person has a different set of challenges and may seek different avenues. There are many integrative cancer care clinics, practitioners and therapists in Colorado - too numerous to list in this directory. You can use these resources as a guideline and check with your nearest cancer center to see what they offer.
