Hi, Your post about yoga helping the depression and physical wear of breast cancer is right on the money. Another thing that helps is dance! There is a very popular video produced by Yoga Master Shoosh Crotzer, called "Focus on Healing" (www.enhancementinc.com) that uses the range of motion exercises that doctors reccommend in a dance format.

 

The video is used in over 350 hospitals to help breast cancer survivors handle the effects of breast cancer treatment. Enhancement inc. is the non-profit organization that distributes it.

 

Feel better!

 

Thanks for sharing this info on yoga and cancer. You might be interested in this new video detailing one woman's struggle to overcome cancer. The short clip is an inspirational account of how a stage four breast cancer patient found the strength to fight the illness and to open up her own pilates studio. The link is below:

Again, I love reading your blog, and I look forward to more posts.

 

Breast pain is a common problem among women, can still be thrown in your bed or reading the newspaper and suddenly felt a terrible pain in the breasts as if it was a blow that leaves you breathless. The bust is harmful for several reasons, perhaps most frequent menstruation. In findrxonline suggest that women should not be concerned by these problems because they can start a week before the period and extending through the last day, the reason is the increase in estrogen in the body. These hormonal fluctuations cause the breast tissue is filled with fluid and become more responsive, causing two things: hincones in the chest and put heavy stones when you are with the rule.
