What has helped you through your journey?

I will start with:
Ahh Bra Type tops - I found these great post op...
Forum Discussion
Most things have been covered already so my only additions are things I still do 6 years post surgery:
- Bio-oil which I stll use occasionally and
- Extra chewing gum to help with that dry metallic mouth while on chemo and had made my teeth so nice with lack of plaque that my dentist now makes favourable comments - it means I get both a clean mouth & sweet hit to my mouth
- company of a dog (at the moment Mum & Dad plus 6 Japanese pups I need to sell) becoming a fluffy grandma has been great - now for the real human ones in a few years!
- exercise be it a short walk, post BC class or anything to keep you fit & healthy. Just take it easy while on chemo ecpecially if you lose feeling in feet and hands like so many of us did on taxol or taxotere
