I felt more emotions in this three-minute spot than I do for most television shows.
Be inspired to do a small random act of kindness today. I know I am.
mystory12I would have had no idea that that was an advert for life insurance so in that way, I dot think it really fulfils its purpose but what a beautiful advert it was! Very inspiring

Chemotherapy takes a toll on your nails. Plus, if you've had underarm lymph node dissection (with mastectomy or lumpectomy), taking care of the nails on your affected hand may prevent lymphedema.
What chemotherapy does:
1. Dries out and makes your nail more brittle.
2. Your nail may even separate from the nail bed. Be extremely careful with hand hygeine; developing an infection in the exposed nail bed or underneath a loose nail may lead to lymphedema.
3. Cuticles will become loose and dry.
4. Nails will develop lines corresponding with chemotherapy treatment

Radiation treatment causes changes to the skin.
1. Your skin color will change. Pale skin will turn red, dark skin will become darker or become ashen in patches. There may be itchiness, burning, and tenderness of skin.
2. Women with larger breasts may experience "wet peeling", which is like blisters.
3. The skin usually heals quickly and completely.
4. Freckles and moles will become darker, but will return to their original color or disappear completely after chemotherapy.
What can you do to ease these symptoms?

Exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle, but some guidelines should be applied in order to exercise safely after breast cancer.
1. Talk to your doctor about your decision to start exercising. Ask:
- Do I need to take any specific precautions to avoid lymphedema?
- I'm thinking of doing these kinds of exercises. Will they be too much for me?
- How can I modify my exercise to make sure I don't overwork myself?
- What are some movements I should avoid?
