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.
Hi, im going to be running the los angeles marathon to raise money for cancer research and was wondering if you would be interested in making a pledge or maybe you could just tell people about what i am doing and they can visit my blog on blogspot called running for life. Thanks for helping inspire us all!

The link in the post to the MSNBC story on our research at Washington State University Spokane no longer works, so I thought I'd share a couple of items.
In a study conducted at Washington State University Spokane, our researchers found benefits for the immune system along with improved quality of life among breast cancer survivors doing yoga.
See a 2007 article on breastcancer.org: http://bit.ly/4IjAa6 and another publication in the American College of Sports Medicine official journal: http://bit.ly/7SzQre
These studies were conducted by faculty and graduate students in our Program in Nutrition and Exercise: http://bit.ly/DVwZK.
We offer the only bachelor's degree in the U.S. to be both endorsed by the American College of sports Medicine and accredited by the American Dietetic Association. Our graduates are eligible for credentialing as ACSM certified exercise specialists and as registered dietitians.

I read about your blog and It inspired me that there must be some cure, still hidden from world and after hours of search on internet and books I finally found a very unique article written on breast cancer which tells me that breast cancer is curable. I found it useful but I believe that it can cure you, at least give it consideration http://stay-healthy-and-energetic.blogspot.com/2011/03/cancer-of-liver-bone-and-breast-cancer.html
I have to disagree with you, Kiool. Although I have the utmost respect for alternative treatments, I think in this case, if steeping a certain herb and drinking the liquid would cure breast cancer, the researchers would have vetted it, doctors prescribed it, and drug companies would surely have found a way to calitalize on it. Women are free to choose their own treatments, of course, but I'd exhaust all my proven scientific options before trying this, personally. Thanks for sharing, though; we apreciate your interest. PJH
I have prostate cancer, and my wife has breast cancer. We were both diagnosed roughly around the same time, talk about stressful on the family. But we actually picked up yoga together three months ago, and I'm not sure if doing yoga helps prostate cancer or not, but I do know that since we've started doing it, we have grown closer together than we were before. Spending time together is what makes us happy, and knowing that we'll be together forever.
Hi
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to a research blog to discuss a planned film concept called "Face the Sun". The film will look at the life of a breast cancer patient and her family.
We are very interested in your thoughts so it would be great if you could have look at the blog and share your breast cancer story and opinions on the film concept.
