My last experience of my first chemo ended up in a Private Hospital for anxiety disorder which chemo was acerbating ... as much as I didnt want to go back, my doc insisted and I went in for 10 days. The nursing team work around the clock to make sure mentally i was dealing with the cancer and the treatment. You don’t have to cook or clean , meals are all prepared and you just show up at meal times... no washing up the kitchen staff look after all of that .. you attended grp session on mindfulness, dealing with stress, yoga, relaxation etc .. these grp sessions teach you how to deal with the difficulties we experience during our cancer journey ... it a place of respite
I can return anytime if I feel I need further support.. I wouldnt have coped has this service not been available to me and I recomend it for anyone struggling with their own personal journey
