Fighting breast cancer is a long and exhausting battle. If you intend to win, there are certain things you need to stop doing.
Stop blaming yourself
It is certainly not your fault that you get breast cancer. The risks depend on your genetic predisposition, your age, your living environment, none of which you have control over.
Stop the poor diet
It is time for you to stay away from the fast food you have been eating your whole life. Your body is going to need as many nutrients as it can get to fight cancer. Load yourself with healthy food will do your health a big favor.
Stop doing everything by yourself
Undergoing treatment and keeping a normal life at the same time is difficult. You will need help, sooner or later. Let your friends and family help.
Stop harming your body
If you have a problem with alcohol, tobacco or substances, you should try to fix it now. Do not allow it to make allies with your cancer.
Stop being a loner
Breast cancer can be extremely toxic to your psychological health. If you feel like you cannot talk to your friends, ask your oncologist to refer you to an expert therapist of a support group.
Stop being inactive
A sedentary lifestyle elevates your risk significantly. Cancer treatment will make you tired. But staying active might actually help relieve some of the side effects.
Stop listening to negative comments
Having cancer will change your appearance. Sometimes, the changes may be severe. There will always be people who love to dump some negativity on you. Stay as far from them as possible. Positive thinking is a thing you need the most to fight cancer.
Stop acting uninvolved
Just following your doctor’s directions is not enough. Take the lead. Ask questions. It is your life that we are talking about. You should not put it entirely in someone else’s hand.
Stop suffering the side effects in silent
It is true that cancer treatment comes with side effects. However, you don’t need to suffer all of that. If you experience discomfort, talk to your doctor. They will probably be able to prescribe something to ease your suffering.
Stop letting breast cancer define you
Having breast cancer does not strip you of your old self. You can be whomever you please. It’s not necessary for you to be a breast cancer patient while you can be a survivor.
