Supportive Cancer Care Alongside Your Oncology Treatment
Cancer treatment changes more than your scan results. It affects how you eat, how you sleep, how you move and how you feel.
At Wellbeing Medical Group, we provide medically guided wellbeing support across nutrition, physical activity, emotional health and supplement safety — all coordinated alongside your hospital treatment, never replacing it.

What Is Supportive Cancer Care?
Supportive cancer care covers the non-surgical, non-pharmacological aspects of your wellbeing during and after cancer treatment. It sits alongside your medical oncology pathway — chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery — and addresses the day-to-day challenges that treatment creates.
This includes managing appetite changes, maintaining physical strength, coping emotionally with diagnosis and treatment, and making safe decisions about supplements or dietary adjustments.
At Wellbeing Medical Group, supportive care is integrated into your overall treatment plan. Our consultant reviews your hospital pathway and identifies where additional wellbeing support may improve your comfort, tolerance or recovery. Where appropriate, we recommend trusted external practitioners with relevant oncology experience.
This is not alternative medicine. We do not offer or recommend therapies that replace conventional cancer treatment. Our approach aligns with NHS enhanced supportive care frameworks and follows NICE guidance on integrative oncology.
Every recommendation starts with your medical picture — diagnosis, treatment plan, blood results and medications. Nothing is generic. Dr Saskia reviews your hospital pathway personally and identifies where wellbeing support can make a meaningful difference.
Patients currently undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or surgery. Patients in recovery or survivorship. Patients who want clinically informed guidance on nutrition, supplements or lifestyle during treatment — not guesswork from the internet.
Supportive care guidance is built into your oncology consultation. We assess your wellbeing needs alongside your treatment plan and provide evidence-informed recommendations. Where specialist input is needed, we connect you with trusted practitioners who have oncology experience.
Our clinic on Tower Bridge Road is easily accessible from London Bridge station. We also offer UK-wide telemedicine consultations for patients who cannot attend in person.
We begin with a free consultation to understand your diagnosis and treatment history. There is no obligation to proceed. Contact our team to arrange a time that works around your hospital schedule.
“Cancer treatment asks a great deal of the body. Our role is to make sure the person going through it is supported in every way we can — nutritionally, physically and emotionally. That means honest, evidence-informed guidance, not promises.”

How We Support You Alongside Cancer Treatment
Our supportive care covers four key areas. Each one is assessed against your specific diagnosis, treatment phase and medical history. We provide clinically informed guidance and, where appropriate, connect you with trusted external specialists.
Nutrition Guidance During Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment frequently disrupts appetite, taste, digestion and weight. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery can each create different nutritional challenges at different stages.
Our clinical team provides personalised nutrition guidance that accounts for your specific treatment, side effects and recovery goals. This may include advice on managing nausea, maintaining caloric intake during treatment, or adjusting your diet to support immune function and energy levels.
Where patients are interested in specific dietary approaches — such as anti-inflammatory eating patterns, fasting protocols or ketogenic strategies — we assess suitability against your medical profile. We explain what the current evidence supports, what requires caution, and what should be avoided during active treatment.
Our team includes Mark Bennett, a BANT-registered Nutritional Therapist with a First Class Honours degree in Nutritional Therapy Science, who provides clinical nutritional guidance as part of our integrated care approach.
For patients experiencing nausea or appetite loss, our intravenous infusion therapies deliver essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely.
Physical Activity and Movement Support
Staying physically active during cancer treatment can support energy levels, mobility, sleep and emotional wellbeing. However, exercise needs to be appropriate to your treatment stage, fatigue levels and any surgical restrictions.
We advise patients on safe, practical ways to maintain movement throughout their treatment. This is not a gym programme or a fitness plan. It is clinically informed guidance on what types of activity are safe, when to rest, and how to adapt as your condition changes.
For patients who would benefit from structured support, we can recommend physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists or movement practitioners with relevant oncology experience. Any referral is made with full awareness of your medical history and current treatment plan.
Emotional and Psychological Wellbeing
A cancer diagnosis affects every part of your life. Anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption and emotional exhaustion are common responses — not signs of weakness.
Our team acknowledges the psychological impact of cancer and treatment openly. During consultations, we assess how you are coping and can discuss practical strategies for managing stress, sleep difficulties and the emotional weight of ongoing treatment.
Where patients would benefit from dedicated psychological support, we can recommend experienced practitioners — including clinical psychologists, counsellors or therapists who specialise in working with cancer patients. We ensure any recommendation is appropriate for your situation and coordinated with your broader care.
We do not deliver psychological therapy directly.
What we provide is a clinical environment where emotional wellbeing is taken seriously as part of your overall care, and where referrals are made thoughtfully rather than generically.
Supplement Safety and Guidance
Many cancer patients consider taking supplements during treatment. Some can be helpful. Others can interfere with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other medications — and the risks are not always obvious.
Our consultant reviews supplement use as part of your overall care assessment. We evaluate what you are currently taking, flag any potential interactions with your treatment, and advise on whether specific supplements may support your wellbeing safely.
Where evidence supports their use, we may recommend supplements such as vitamin D, curcumin or specific micronutrients — always with reference to your blood results, treatment protocol and individual tolerance.
We do not sell supplements. Our role is to provide impartial, medically informed guidance so you can make safe decisions.
For patients receiving IV infusion therapies at our clinic, supplement guidance is fully integrated into your treatment plan. Our curcumin IV therapy is one example of how we deliver targeted support under medical supervision.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Supportive Cancer Care Matters
Cancer treatment is designed to target disease. Supportive care is designed to protect the person going through it.
Evidence consistently shows that patients who receive structured supportive care alongside their oncology treatment report better quality of life, improved treatment tolerance and stronger recovery outcomes. This is recognised in NICE guidance, NHS enhanced supportive care frameworks, and international oncology best practice.
At Wellbeing Medical Group, we believe that supporting the whole person — not just treating the disease — is fundamental to good cancer care. That means taking nutrition, movement, emotional health and supplement safety as seriously as we take IV therapy protocols and treatment planning.
