There are a lot of books out there that can help you. Two that I have read are, "Chris Beat Cancer" by Chris Wark - my daughter gave me - and "Keep Your Breasts" by Susan Moss - my Naturopath loaned me. Both of them have a lot of information on diet, exercise and lifestyle changes, etc. There are probably other ones.

It is a big change, so I started out slowly and am still working on it a little bit at a time. I was not able to face changing everything overnight, so I am easing myself into it.

I started adding a lot more vegetables and fruits to my diet, cutting way down on meat (eventually I'd like to do at least a few weeks of no meat), cutting way down on dairy, buying organic when I can and if I can afford it. I am upping my exercise (more walking and lifting weights (at home) and hope to start swimming soon), learning how to do meditations and mindfulness exercises. One of my daughters bought me a juicer and so I am trying to use that.

There is a lot of help on "YouTube" for free, on meditations, mindfulness, seniors exercise workouts - some are only 15 minutes per day if you want to start out small. There is also a lot of information about all different kinds of cancer subjects on YouTube that I found helpful. I had to try to find as much free resources as I can because we are not rich. 🙂

Also I started seeing a Naturopathic Dr. who is helping me to get my body more healthy by taking some natural supplements etc.

It is a process and I try to praise myself when I see some improvements. I've started to lose some of the belly fat that I am sure contributed to my cancer, since belly fat stores estrogen.

Try to do it in little bits so that you don't feel overwhelmed. Good Luck! 🙂
