Please give your top 3 tips that has helped (or is helping) you through breast cancer.

Here is mine:

1.Deep faith in God (most helpful to me)

2. Stay positive all the time (even during the down days, find the light)

3. Drink water, drink water and then drink more water (helped me so much).

All my best warriors!!

    1. Drink water, drink water, drink water.

    2. You are stronger than you think you are.

    3. Suck it up and ask for help when you need it. When people offer, take them up on it.

    Wonderful thread! Thank you.

    1. Little luxuries can make all the difference. Mine included fresh flowers, silk panties, fragrant bubble baths, eyeliner for when I lost my lashes.
    2. Exercise...as it will make you feel better and deconditioning is real with most patients.
    3. It's OK not to stay for the bloody second act of the opera. Or whatever else you don't want to stay for. I skipped out on Il Trovatore. Had a wonderful time without having to live through the gore. Still remember the splendid singing of Act 1.

    (I third the water, and get a good water bottle to carry around. I drowned my mobile phone.) - Claire

    Claire, I do agree, it's okay to skip out if you don't want to stay. I think you have to do what is best for you during this time! Life is hard enough to manage every day living then, then cancer then other obligations. Do what YOU can do. Thanks for the tips!
