Managing side effects like chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), can be challenging and painful. This condition affects up to 60% of people receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy and can significantly impact quality of life. But what if there was a simple, non-invasive way to potentially reducen CIPN symptoms? Enter the Quell device.

Practicing self-care is an absolute must for everybody. Now that summer is approaching, incorporating self-care into our daily routines has become a little bit easier. But, in stressful or challenging times, our previously adopted self-care strategies can prove ineffective. New situations sometimes require new solutions.

It is important to apply sunscreen during these summer days to prevent skin damage, but the sun can also damage your hair. If your hair has prolonged exposure to the sun, UVA and UVB rays can damage the outside cover of the hair strand.

Exposure to direct sunlight not only damages the hair cuticle but also breaks down keratin – a natural protein found in hair.

Between 8% and 18% of cancer patients have diabetes, a chronic condition that impacts the ability to regulate blood sugar levels. For many patients, diabetes management takes a backseat to cancer treatment. Managing your blood sugar levels can help your overall health.

Sarcoma is still considered to be the “forgotten cancer.” Efforts to encourage research and drug development are made more challenging due to a lack of awareness and understanding. During Sarcoma Awareness Month we at H&B aim to further highlight the extraordinary challenges that sarcoma patients face.

Cancer is one of the most critical health problems worldwide today. Studies by different researchers have shown that disease can reduce people's ability to self-care. Throughout her career as a surgical oncologist, Dr. Shymali Singhal, founder of H&B, has had the opportunity to see many women fight hard not to lose themselves to the various pieces of their lives.

Thanks to spectacular advances in cancer research, more than 16.9 million people in the United States are cancer survivors who are living with, through, and beyond their disease.

Vaccines are used to help a person’s immune system recognize and protect the body against infections. Vaccines are now available to help protect against COVID-19. Here we’ll discuss some of the questions people with cancer might have about the COVID-19 vaccines.

National Cancer Research Month is marked each May, and it recognizes the importance of cancer research and the contributions of researchers, physician-scientists, survivors, and patient advocates across the United States.

H&B joins the cause of raising awareness. Some months are marked for more than one cancer; May is one of such months. Along with bladder cancer, which we talked about in the previous blog, May is also brain cancer awareness month, and melanoma and skin cancer awareness month.
