Support Group Helps a Lot
Yeah, breast cancer is scary AT FIRST. Who is not scared about cancer, right? But what is scarier is the fact that you will not pay attention to any lump that is growing in there. Just like what you said, you are prone to any of this…so as early as now, have a regular check-up with your doctor. Early detection really helps a lot, and prevention is the best cure. :-)

RE:Support Group Helps a Lot
As with the idea of support groups, I am 100% sure that this helps. One sister of mine died because of breast cancer, and now our youngest sister is diagnosed to have one. Our family is behind her all the way and I know that what keeps her going.
So, I think that every family should do the same. This will encourage the patient to be more brave in dealing with the sickness and that she will try her very best to follow any medication which is for her own good.

I also believe that support from family and friends help in the fast recovery of the patient. They are there to encourage you and help you get through the pain. It also helps if your support group is strong enough because you can draw strength from them.

I think it helps a lot to join support group meetings. It’s comforting maybe to hear other patients’ woes about breast cancer. It helps them feel that they are not alone.

RE:Support Group Helps a Lot
I’ve heard many stories about breast cancer survivors, and YES, support groups help a lot. This is most especially from family members and friends of the patient. This will boost the confidence of the patient - that feeling of being able to rise above the cancer for the sake of those people who love you. Support groups should be patient and should know about the sickness in order to understand fully the breast cancer patient.

RE:Support Group Helps a Lot
I agree so much with Gina. It is tough to be alone and being sick about breast cancer. My mother survives the cancer and I believed that the presence of my father beside her really helped her a lot in her fast recovery.

RE:Support Group Helps a Lot
For my part, it is quite to be strong when I see my daughter suffering a lot on breast cancer. But yes, I will take your advice here. I will always be beside my daughter all throughout and I will support her. And I will try to appear strong in front of her.

My mother’s survival from breast cancer strengthen more our relationship with God. With him, everything is possible. I know that my mother’s survival is a miracle…and her every breath of every day is God’s work of love.

Telling your children you have cancer
|

Telling your children and family you have breast cancer will be an upsetting and overwhelming task. You may have just come to terms with the news yourself and by telling your family...
