患乳腺癌後該如何保持健康
No direct link has been established between lifestyle habits and the risk of a breast cancer recurrence, but surviving cancer is a great occasion to evaluate habits. "A cancer diagnosis represents a teachable moment," says Julia Rowland, PhD, director of the National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Survivorship. "It gives you a chance to make lifestyle changes that can benefit your general health and cancer status."
人們尚未確定生活習慣和乳腺癌復發風險之間的直接聯繫，但癌症倖存者是評估習慣的好機會。"診斷出癌症代表着你受教育的時刻到了，"美國癌症倖存癌症研究所（the National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Survivorship）的主任茱莉亞·羅蘭博士說。"它給你一個改變生活方式的機會，讓你的總體健康和癌症狀態都從中受益。"Get moving
動起來You don't need a gym membership to benefit from exercise. The American Cancer Society recommends that survivors get at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five or more days a week. What you do is up to you (and your doctor), but the main point is to get your heart rate up. Exercise can also improve mood and sleep, reduce stress, control weight gain, boost self-esteem, and protect against heart disease and diabetes.
不是非得去健身房才能鍛鍊的。美國癌症協會建議癌症倖存者每週鍛鍊五天或五天以上，每次進行30分鐘中等強度的鍛鍊。做哪種鍛鍊取決於你自己和你的醫生，但重點是加快心率。鍛鍊還能讓你心情變好、促進睡眠、減少壓力、控制體重、提高自尊心，還能防止心臟病和糖尿病。
Don't smoke, and eat and drink mindfully
不要抽菸，注意飲食You can still get this disease if you don't smoke or drink and you eat a low-fat diet. But some studies draw a link between breast cancer and the same poor lifestyle habits that encourage heart disease and diabetes. Research has shown that being overweight or obese (especially if you're past menopause) increases your risk of breast cancer, especially if you put on the weight as an adult.
如果你不抽菸、不喝酒，飲食脂肪含量低，你照樣可能患有乳腺癌。但一些研究認爲乳腺癌與導致心臟病和糖尿病的一些糟糕的生活習慣相關。研究表明超重或肥胖（尤其過了更年期後）會增加你患乳腺癌的風險，尤其是變胖了之後更是如此。Get regular checkups
定期檢查Set up a schedule of regular visits to your doctor. Each year without a recurrence marks an important drop in your risk, and five years out is a big milestone. Still, recurrences can occur 20 or even 25 years after a first bout with breast cancer, so experts say you'll need to continue screenings.
制定一個定期看醫生的時間表。每年都沒有再次發作表明你的復發風險降低，而連續五年都沒有復發可算是重大事件了。但是，乳腺癌首次發作後的20年甚至25年後都有可能復發，所以專家表示你需要不斷地做檢查掃描。Boost your spirit
振奮精神Though the scientific verdict is still out on whether attitude affects outcomes, seeking out people and activities that you enjoy can give you a sense of purpose and meaning. Making a list of pros and cons in your life can help if the blues are clouding your perspective.
雖然尚未有科學證明態度是否能影響最終結果，但和自己喜歡的人交往做一些活動會讓你有種使命感、讓你的生活變得有意義。但如果烏雲矇住了你的雙眼，列出生活的利與弊將有助於你看清事實。Clean up
打掃乾淨You hear more every day about possible environmental links to cancer. A concern is so-called endocrine disruptors, found in some pesticides and plastics, which if absorbed into the body can disturb the action of hormones.
每天你都聽他人說環境可能會導致癌症。其中一種擔心就是在一些農藥和塑料中發現的所謂的內分泌干擾物，如果被身體吸收會干擾激素的作用。
