Hearing "you have cancer" literally takes your breath away. The fastest way to steady yourself? Take a deep breath. In this video, Jennifer Omholt shares the two breathing techniques — diaphragmatic and triangular breathing — that helped her through the shock of her own diagnosis. Science backs it up: controlled breathing can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience during cancer treatment. You can start using these tools right now, at any stage of treatment.
