Heart Health Is Brain Health

February is Heart Month, a time to focus on cardiovascular health, but did you know that heart health is also brain health? The connection between heart health and brain health is strong, and understanding it can help reduce your risk of stroke and cognitive decline.

Jennifer Davies, Stroke Nurse Coordinator at Onslow Memorial Hospital, explains that the brain uses 20% of the oxygen carried by our blood to function. If your heart and blood vessels do not circulate blood efficiently, your risk of stroke increases. When the heart and blood vessels are healthy, blood flows freely to the brain.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, your doctor most likely has talked to you about radiation therapy as a treatment option!

Radiation therapy doesn't directly kill the cancer cells, but once they are damaged, they will not grow or divide. They will not be able to repair the damage and eventually will die.

With any cancer treatment, there can be side effects:
1️⃣ Fatigue in the first week.
2️⃣ Side effects near the treatment site after two weeks.
3️⃣ Changes to the skin during and after treatment.

With the most advanced cancer technology and specialized cancer care equipment, patients can expect fewer side effects, faster recovery, and more effective treatment planning.

At Onslow Radiation Oncology, we are here every step of the way through your cancer journey! 💙
