Karen,

Family and friends played a big role while I was going through treatment. I am very greatful for that. After that I went back to work as soon as I could so I could keep myself busy and trying to incorporate to a semi-normal life again. With that all set. I kept on reading books as much as I can, each book takes me to a different scenario in life and that helps my mind's health. I also try to get out of the house and either do my groceries or plan on a trip, even if it is a short one. When I feel very tired I try to enjoy my rest and wathch productive programs on tv. Even when now we have the burden of BC, I try to make my life as normal as it was before, obviously I do not always feel normal, but I try.
