Meditation isn't just relaxation — research shows it reduces stress, improves pain management, and supports immune function during cancer treatment. Jennifer Omholt walks through three practices: mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and body scan meditation — with practical tips for starting small, building a daily routine, and tracking your progress through treatment. From JUST DIAGNOSED: A Survivor's Guide to Navigating Cancer by Jennifer Omholt — journalist and 24-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor. Foreword by Debu Tripathy, MD (MD Anderson Cancer Center).
