Top Tips To Get Through

One of the things that would have been great when I was going through all the treatments for breast cancer was a resource which had tips from other women who had been through it all and found things to help.

The things that aren't found in the medical literature, the things that your best friend might tell you if she had been through it all.

Things like; A pashmina is great to take with you when you go to a radiotherapy session because the room is always so cold and you can cover the areas not being treated and being thin it doesn't get in the way.

Or; Take sweets with you to suck during chemo to take away any bad tastes ( even now I can't eat Werthers Originals so maybe don't take your favourite sweets).

So if any of you have tips that worked for you that you think would help others please add them.

It would be great to put together lots of help.

  1. Chemotherapy can leave you with a nasty taste in your mouth. One of the best things I've found to drink is Pineapple Juice - for some strange reason it takes the taste away!

    A great tip emailed to me from Carol
