What has helped you through your journey?
I thought I would start a post to see what has helped people through their journey, so that maybe something might help others.
I will start with:
Ahh Bra Type tops - I found these great post op...
Audio books - when you cant read or watch the television audio books are wonderful. I downloaded some georgette heyer romance novels and listened to them pre/post surgery and post chemo. Just the softness of someone reading to you as you drift off, and if you miss it you can always go back. Have some stronger audio books for when I am knitting etc, just to keep me company when the radio is not capturing my attention. Again just the pleasure of someone reading to me is relaxing.
Meditation/relaxation cd's - I have found some that really work for me. Took a few goes but there is a definant difference when I use them. One is a "boost your immune system" and I feel it is helping me. I am not sure if it is anicdotal but my bloods are always good when I use the meditation. Mind over matter perhaps. Also help me to relax when I am waiting for stuff to happen. Just when I am alone and feel I need to zone out abit from the cancer worry world.
Looking for a form of massage that will help me later. Not sure what will be too harsh and what is good? Also looking for resolution to the early menopause symptoms that just barrel on in. Any thoughts?
