A new study shows that most breast cancer survivors that believe their health habits had something to do with their cancer diagnoses were apt to change those habits. However, many survivors do not choose to adopt healthier lifestyles after diagnoses.

Patients who believed that sedentary habits, alcohol consumption and bad diets had helped cause their cancer wanted to make lifestyles changes.

After my treatment for breast cancer was complete I started taking a lot of vitamins and felt like I had to keep doing something positive for my body to keep the cancer away. I have a whole drawer of every vitamin under the sun. Not taking a single one as I write this.

I guess I started out with a good plan but taking all those pills everyday got old pretty quick. Instead I try and eat the real thing like a lot of greens and fruit. I also eat cheeseburgers and fries sometimes.

My doctor only recommends a daily vitamin which I keep promising myself I'm going to take. I don't know why I got breast cancer. I can't blame it on my lifestyle because even though I could have contributed. How would I know?

I know runners who didn't smoke or drink who have received a cancer diagnoses. Other who drink, smoke, eat poorly and don't exercise have nothing wrong with them. I know that a good diet and exercise is extremely important whether you have cancer or not. If you treat your body poorly it will catch up to you. Ok, so now I want to join the gym tomorrow.

All I have left to say is that I'm not giving up my red wine!
