Breast Cancer has claimed and changed the lives of millions of women around the world. Today, I was inspired by a blog that I followed called "Just Because......" to write about, if you....or someone you know.....has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I would like to share with Everyone some of the suggestions that I read in an article entitled: "How to Hope, How to Cope with Breast Cancer".
IF YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER
- Expect to spend a year or more focusing on treatment and recovery.
- When possible, choose competent doctors who respect your needs and beliefs.
- With your family, decide whom you will tell, and when. This will allow your friends to show their love for you and to pray with you and for you.
- Cope with emotional strain through Bible reading, prayer, and upbuilding meditation.
- Talk with others who have had breast cancer and who will be encouraging to you.
- Try to focus on today's concerns, not tomorrow's. "Never be anxious about he next day, "Jesus said, "for the next day will have its own anxieties."-Mathew 6:34.
- Budget your energy. You need sufficient rest.
