Hi @AaryBee
so lovely to see you on
here!
The “ in sickness and in health” marriage vow became very real to me when I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer 18 months ago - my hubby of 32 years was my absolute rock.
Obviously it is a very scary and emotional time but the scariest moment for me was when he cried - he is not a man who normally shows his emotions like that!
It is hugely helpful to have a supportive partner and also one who can help you laugh.
Have a listen to the Dr Charlotte Tottman “ What you don’t know until you do” podcasts if you can they are in the “announcement “ towards the top of this page - she is a psychologist specializinf in treatment of cancer patients who got breast cancer herself - I found them hugely relatable.
re the exercise , other ladies here are better at me to post links ( I’m thinking Arpie or Iserbrown) but there are definitely studies that show regular exercise helps in preventing breast cancer from coming back.
Take care.
