Consultation: A good therapist will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your medical history and specific needs. 3. Communication: Effective communication is crucial. The therapist should be willing to work with your healthcare team. 4. References and Reviews: Look for testimonials or ask for references from other cancer patients.
