Let’s not forget the importance of dogs and cats
It has been said that sometimes laughter is the best medicine. There is little doubt that some of the greatest laughter you will ever be a part of will be due to your cat or dog doing something awfully silly. Perhaps that is why some doctors will actually write a prescription to allow ailing pet owners to have their pets visit them in the hospital.
Anyone who has fought through the battle of breast cancer knows how important it is to have love and support all around you and sometimes that can come in the way of a four legged furry friend. Animals provide a constant companionship and will always ensure that there is some form of support around at all times. There are some that have even suggested that dos can ’sniff out’ cancer.
A word of warning though. Be sure you talk to your doctor if you have had chemotherapy as your immune system may be down and in such a case a pet around may not be the best option for you.
For the most part though dogs and cats are a great asset to have around for any breast cancer patient. ThinkPinker.com urges those that do not have a silly bundle of fur to keep them laughing to consider pet adoption today. You may be saving the animal’s life, but that animal may just save yours as well.
