Excellent Marc, the faster we men are included in the recovery of our loved ones who have breast cancer the better the whole family will be . Education and support groups for husbands and family members should be just as much a requirement as med.'s and theropy are for the patient . When a wife /mother /sister, have a stronge well educated support group , there recovery can be so much more effective and positive. Sickness of any kind is hard , but when the sick person knows in there heart that they are loved and have a safety net when they fall, the strenght to fight becomes so much stronger. Husbands and loved ones are so important to recovery , and they need to bond together so they do not fall apart when they are needed the most.We have made progress with treatment of cancer as far as the drugs go , now it is time to treat the spirit. We men can be so much for our wives and loved ones , but we are human and we need a place to go to bond together so we can go back home and continue the fight of our lives . Thank you for bringing this to light , Danny
Marc -
You bring up such valid points regarding hte role that men play in breast cancer recovery. The support and care of our husbands and other men in our lives is invaluable and and the biggest part of recovering and accepting our new bodies. Thanks for championing this cause for women and the men who support them.
Prevention is better than cure. Just read an article in http://breastcancer.dormitory.com/. It mentions that Walking Can Decrease Breast Cancer Recurrence 40
Percent.I think not just walking but better sleep and regular sports also help to decrease the posibility of breast cancer. Share the article as following
hope it will help:
When it comes to further minimizing the chance of breast cancer recurrence, Dr. Carolyn Kaelin, a Harvard surgeon, breast cancer survivor and author of The
Breast Cancer Survivor's Fitness Plan, says, "Brisk walking - about 3.0 mph on a treadmill - for three to five hours per week, or about 30 minutes a day, can
net big benefits for breast cancer survivors.
