Feeling jittery
Has anyone got any good tips on coping with the fear we must all feel inside? I am trying hard to stay positive, but knowing my tumour was very large and 5/13 lymph nodes were infected, I am terrifie...
Hi Jenny
You have to do what works for you,I was not working at the time of my diagnosis,I had finished work 4 months before.. I took to walking,hitting the pavement with my ipod and listening to the music that i loved,I also had some relaxation and meditation cd's that i put on to it. I found it took me to "another place " so to speak,breathing the fresh air,smelling all the different smells,things that you take for granted every day.I also treated myself to a massage every 2 weeks.. Jenny you have to listen to what your body tells you.If you are fatigued after the chemo,rest.... I dont know if anyone else has said anything to you about a Diary,It was suggested to me to keep one,so i wrote daily,my thoughts and feelings,and who i saw and what i did on the day.
I am glad i did,because i found it a great way to vent.
Take care ,thinking of you positive vibes coming your way.
cheers Jean x
