I read an article saying “forest bath” can help heel cancer. The concept is to embrace yourself in forest and fully enjoy the beauty of the nature. If you can walk in forest reserve, it is even better. I truly believe forest can improve our NK cells and immune and very importantly, reduce our stress. I also did everything right but highly stressful in my life and just had mastectomy because of IDC. Good luck to you and your recovery!
