As she releases her book 'Reconstructed: How to rebuild your body, mind and life after a breast cancer diagnosis', RosamundDean shares what breast cancer taught her about living fearlessly.

I started having therapy, which taught me practical tools to redirect negative thoughts. And I overhauled my lifestyle because, although there is no silver bullet that will prevent cancer, there are certainly things you can do to reduce your risk. They include eating well, managing stress and exercising – which I was astonished to learn can reduce the risk of recurrence so much that, in Australia, it’s prescribed alongside cancer treatment.

I went from someone who couldn’t contemplate death, to having a keen awareness of it. After all, cancer or no cancer, we’re all going to die and none of us knows when. And coming face to face with your own mortality makes you look at life in a different way. This doesn’t mean that I’ve reached some higher state of consciousness where nothing ever bothers me and I fully enjoy every single moment. Don’t get me wrong: I still get stressed over deadlines and snap at my kids. I’m human.
