The news that you have cancer comes as a shock. You may feel angry that your body has betrayed you. But in your battle against cancer, you can play an active role in improving the state of your health -- both during your treatments, as well as when you're in remission.

Weight

Maintaining a balanced diet is an important factor in your fight against cancer. Just consider: one-third of the 500,000 cancer deaths that occur in the U.S. each year is due to dietary factors, according to the American Cancer Society. With PHDtoGo, you'll be able to monitor the amount of fruits, vegetables, proteins, fat, carbohydrates and calories in your diet. Keeping track of your foods may also give your oncologist a better idea of whether you're getting enough daily nutrients.

And by charting your weight on PHDtoGo, your physician can also check whether you're losing too much weight, too fast. If you are, it could interfere with your battle against the disease.

Medications

During your treatment, your doctor may prescribe several medications. Keeping track of what to take when may seem confusing. But with your easy-to-use PHDtoGo application, you can log these prescription drugs, as well as any special instructions. By maintaining a record on PHDtoGo of other medications you're taking, you can also address the risk of harmful drug interactions.

With PHDtoGo, you'll be able to note any unusual pains or side effects of your treatments, including their intensity and duration. This may help your doctor adjust your pain medications to make you more comfortable.

Emotional factors

Your healthcare providers may want to know if you're experiencing any anxiety and depression, which you can monitor with PHDtoGo. Based on the information you provide, your doctor might want to prescribe anti-depressants or recommend psychotherapy, support groups or other help.

And when you're in remission, PHDtoGo lets you track any changes in your body or unusual symptoms. Your vigilance and early detection could save your life.
