Sick of this
Hi,
I feel like I need to vent, does anyone else feel like this disease invades your mind! Some days it is all I can think about what a miserable existence if I can't ever get over this! I know the...
Hi Jo, I agree with everything that has already been said and I certainly have moments of fear and despair myself when I wonder whether I might die well before my time.
What I find helps a lot is to read about and plan for all the things I am going to do when my treatment is over to minimise the chances of the cancer coming back. Things like eating really healthily and including foods in my diet that are thought to reduce the risk of cancer and exercising regularly and vigorously. And reducing the toxins my body is exposed to by swapping chemical-laden products - food, cleaning products, cosmetics etc - for more natural alternatives. And -sadly - cutting back on the chardonnay.
I know I could do all of these things and still get a recurrance of cancer but at least I feel like I'm doing something and taking some control of the situation. And who knows, maybe these things will keep me healthy. It's worth a try.
Good luck Jo. Hope you're feeling a little better. Janet.
