From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Having cancer is stressful enough, but when holidays are on the way, it seems like extra stress is almost a part of the package. You don't need the extra burden - so get some help, make a plan, and enjoy the time with special people.

Holidays, Stress, and Breast Cancer
Here comes the holidays - and I am never ready! The year that I was in treatment for breast cancer was hard already, but when the Christmas countdown started, all I could do was nap. I can actually feel stressed and nap at the same time - holidays give me anxiety dreams. Head off the holiday stress - here's some tips that may help!

Does Stress Raise Your Risk of Breast Cancer?
Some level of stress is a natural part of life. But some folks feel like having an unusual load of stress - like a divorce, death of a close friend or family member, or other major loss - can actually make you more vulnerable to cancer. Take a look at how stress can affect your health.

Emotions and Your Diagnosis
How did you handle your cancer diagnosis? What helped you process the emotions that washed over you as you received the news? Many people have the same feelings, and have made a way from shock to adjustment to acceptance. Never an easy journey, allow yourself time and space to experience those emotions and learn from them.
