Lily Care of Breast & Body

• Know your family history.
• Do monthly examinations of breast and body.
• After 40 years of age, have a yearly mammogram.
• Say "Yes" to testing your medical professional recommends.
• Take time to decide what action is best for you.
• If estrogen receptive, consider tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors.
• Even if your breast cancer has not spread to your nodes, consider chemotherapy when the cancerous lump is over 2 cm.
• Understand the advantages of breast conservation - in many cases a lumpectomy with radiation is as effective as a mastectomy.
• With a mastectomy, think about reconstructive surgery.
• Take into account all aspects of healing - not only the physical, but the emotional and spiritual.
• Eat a well-balanced diet that is low in fat and sugars.
• Exercise, exercise, exercise!
• Fill your life with the message of the lily - Strength, Energy & Love.
• Know we can live a beautiful and healthy "gardening" life.
