How did your behavior change since diagnosis? Why do you think that is? Has your spirituality changed? Do you try natural or wholistic remedies to treat your breast cancer?
Let's share!
Take care,

Hi @LizziB
I was am not really the cancer patient that is out inspiring other people. I was sad and scared. You get through it, but it was really hard. You can say I was in a negative mood, I'm not good at hiding my emotions, so when I was feeling sick, you could tell. My belief in God has not changed, I still go to church every Sunday however, I did pray more throughout the week. I did yoga before my diagnosis, so I didn't do that for my cancer, but doing the ritual was helpful for my stress levels and for my body. I did start taking more vitamins to try to enrich my body. Chemo was killing it, so I wanted to do something to help it. I also started eating less meat, my diet is more full of veggies now and I think it helps.
