Recovery

I’m really sorry I can’t really help there as I havnt been through it yet but will be in two weeks. 
I don’t know if it would help in this situation but mindfulness books are really good x 

Hi 

Have you looked on the Breastcancernow website https://breastcancernow.org/information-support/publications/download-order?page=2

This site has lots of information and support specifically for breast cancer , and they have lots of downloadable leaflets , some of which might help ? I have also found the app Headspace useful 

Ther are also lots of books on Amazon such as this one www.amazon.co.uk/.../259-8752368-3979917

If you read the reviews you can see if it would appeal to you , and the site also offers you alternatives you may like so you would probably find something ? 

Is it the mastectomy in particular you are struggling with or the whole cancer diagnosis? I had a mastectomy and have now had two reconstructions but neither replace your real breast , and once the relief of having the cancer removed it can be quite hard to come to terms with.

Have you contacted your local cancer charity ? My local one is still offering online counselling so they may be able to offer some help and advice?

Hope some of this helps

Hi Minnie M. I'm finding meditations on YouTube helpful. They can be very different and it's important to find ones that suit you.  I listen to this one in particular every night

I find it soothing and he does several different ones and podcasts.

Hi Minnie, you may have tried but yoga really helps me.
