I think I'd tell myself "you're stronger than you know"

I would tell myself that life after breast cancer, life will change but you will emerge stronger and live your life more fully. I take nothing for granted and am very grateful for what I have

I would tell myself ‘it’s going to be ok’ and

it’s ok to be scared

It’s ok to ask for help

It’s ok to cry

I'd make sure I had the best insurance possible, as now I know how much I am having to spend on medical care that the NHS can't provide.

I would say to myself, “Never think you’re untouchable. Cancer does not discriminate.”

Understand and try to maintain proper hormonal balance. Pay attention to all the carcinogenic fillers in daily products.

Yes! I did the right thing! Being part of a family with high rates of BC, I started my mammograms at age 36. My cancer was stage 0 when caught! Early detection is the name of the game!

I would tell myself to make better decisions about who you let into your life. I would also tell myself to enjoy more, take advantage of your health. Have more children. Spend more quality time with family.

I would tell myself to never question whether God, exist. I would tell myself to not worry about anything, but to pray, and talk to God about any concern.
