2 Tablespoons of Health

Quote of the day: "When you are young and healthy, it never occurs to you that in a single second your whole life could change."-Annette Funicello

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.

Tip: Make an earnest effort to show your support of finding a cure for Breast Cancer by making a small donation to a creditable organization of your choice, and by volunteering your time to an organization that's main focus is on Breast Cancer awareness.
