@JosephineO For me I started to revisit all the movies that I loved when I was young, sometimes I would just play them on repeat when I was feeling too weak to get out of bed. It helped me a lot.

Hello everyone,
How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion?
A member living with breast cancer on Carenity France just shared a testimonial with us where she explains how she turned to writing for comfort and to express herself while in treatment for cancer: Breast cancer: "Writing has become indispensable for me!”
What or whom did you turn to for comfort while in treatment for breast cancer? Was there a ritual or habit that helped you? A particular person or activity? Can you share any tips with other members who may currently be in treatment?

Feel free to share with us here!
Take care,
Courtney

Hello ladies,
Breast Cancer Awareness month is upon us again and it would be interesting in know what comforted you during and after your cancer treatment? Was there any particular tv show or book? Did you suddenly become attached to any comfort blankets or objects? Any certain music?
Please share what comforted you during this difficult period.
