Attune helped me deal with the common—yet often overlooked—psychological effects of cancer like stress, anxiety, and depression. My diagnosis alone was overwhelming, so when treatment started I couldn’t focus on what I needed to do. Thankfully, attune helped me learn how to relax and channel my mood swings into manageable thoughts.
