instructions. Depending on the stage of breast cancer, your doctor will guide
you in treating the cancer. Cancer treatments do make you feel tired, but it
does allow you to live longer. Your doctor will tell you step by step if you
need surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

oncologist might prescribe hormones in the form of a pill or the form of a
shot. However, it all depends on the cancer phase. Nevertheless, the process of
breast cancer treatment requires a lot of patience and acceptance. Also, your
skin, your hair, and other physical changes do occur during the treatments. The
main thing is to remain calm, eat healthier, and get rest.

physical issues. Make sure you continue going to your follow-up appointments.

personal advice. Having support from your family does help immensely. Practice
yoga, tai chi, and other meditation techniques when you are fully
recovered.

but the goal is to be motivated to feel better. Going back to work keeps you
busy mentally and physically. Spend quality time with your children or
