October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, bringing attention to the importance of early detection and timely treatment. It also highlights the psychological toll a cancer diagnosis can have on the patient and surrounding family and friends.
Taking care of oneself — mentally and emotionally — becomes a vital part of any cancer care plan, and mindfulness practices can foster self-compassion, alleviate stress, and build resilience, bringing a little comfort to everyone impacted by such a challenging time.
