From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
So far, most of my summer has been spent indoors. The one time that I stayed outside in the heat, I got wiped out and spent an afternoon knocked out on the couch. That wasn't smart!

Coping with Summer as well as Breast Cancer
While you're in treatment, you can still enjoy summer - vacations, time with family, beaches and parks. Just be sure to follow some sun-smart rules, stay well hydrated and don't forget your medications.

Going Swimming? Get The Right Suit!
After having breast surgery, you may want a swimsuit that is styled differently than those plunging necklines or teeny bottoms. You may even need one with a secret pocket. Here's a good example of a well-designed mastectomy swimsuit, which would also work for a post-lumpectomy figure.

Sleep Cool Despite the Heat
I would wear my wicking sleepwear all day long if I could. It's the only kind of pajamas and gowns I use now that I am a full-time Hot Flash Mama. Here's a comparison of four brands of sleepwear that wick away night sweats.
