How We Work With Your Oncology Team

Integrative cancer care works best when it reduces confusion, improves safety, and supports joined-up decisions. Here’s how we coordinate alongside your oncology treatment—clearly and with your consent.

Integrative cancer care / Working with your oncology team

Our collaboration principle

Integrative cancer care is designed to support you alongside conventional oncology—never to replace it. Coordination is about safety, timing, and reducing uncertainty so your supportive plan fits your oncology pathway.

If you’re new to the concept, start with the integrative cancer care overview. If you want to see how coordination feeds into a structured plan, read your personalised care plan.

What coordination means in practice

  • Clear documentation of what you’re using (medications, supplements, complementary therapies)
  • Interaction screening and timing considerations around treatment cycles
  • Joined-up decision-making with your consent and preferences at the centre

What we may ask you to share (so we can support you safely)

To coordinate effectively, we may ask for practical information you already have—such as oncology letters, your medication list, and your treatment schedule. This helps us align supportive options to your current stage and reduce avoidable risks.

Your oncology plan

  • Treatment type and schedule (cycles, dates, planned changes)
  • Upcoming procedures or imaging
  • Side effects you’re experiencing

Medications & supplements

  • Prescription medicines
  • Over-the-counter medicines
  • Supplements, herbs, and complementary products

Your priorities

  • Top symptoms to improve first
  • What’s most affecting daily life right now
  • Preferences, sensitivities, and capacity

For the step-by-step appointment flow, see what to expect. For governance and consent principles, read safety, governance & consent.

Safety checks: interactions, timing, and “pause rules”

Complementary therapies and supplements are not automatically safe in cancer care. Some can interact with medications, affect bleeding risk around procedures, or create timing issues around chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

This is why clinician-led review matters. Our approach prioritises clarity: what is reasonable, what is uncertain, what should be avoided, and what should be paused.

What we screen for

  • Medication and supplement interactions
  • Contraindications based on health history
  • Timing considerations around treatment cycles and procedures
  • Red-flag symptoms that need urgent medical assessment

Full framework: safety, governance & consent.

Communication and consent

We only communicate with your oncology team with your consent. Consent keeps you in control of what is shared and why. Where appropriate, we can provide a concise note describing the supportive plan, safety considerations, and timing guidance.

With your consent, we can help by

  • Summarising your integrative plan clearly (for shared understanding)
  • Flagging timing considerations or interaction concerns
  • Reducing duplication and confusion between advice sources

What we don’t do

  • We don’t replace oncology decisions or change your oncology treatment
  • We don’t promise outcomes beyond supportive care and quality of life aims
  • We don’t add complexity for its own sake

If you want to see what a plan looks like end-to-end, read your personalised care plan. If you prefer practical detail first, visit integrative cancer care FAQs.

Want joined-up support that fits your oncology timeline?

Book a consultation to review your treatment schedule, symptoms, medications and supplements, and priorities. We’ll create a plan that’s clear, safety-checked, and designed to support you alongside oncology care.

Before you book, you may also want to read safety, governance & consent.
