Going through the hardships

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question đź’­
want to share a little update about my journey. Recently I went for a CT scan of my lungs, and today the doctor explained the results to me. They found some changes in my left lung compared to before. There are areas where the lung lining looks thicker, and a small mass in the lower part of the left lung has grown a bit since my last scan. Because of these changes, the doctors want to do another test called a bronchoscopy, where they use a small camera to look inside the airways and take samples to understand it better. Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what

I am going for the C T Scan , PET Scan,Eye Cataract Extraction lens implantation,this May and this I got to get through the problem but l pray to God please help me to overcome the problem.🙏

Hi Moh- I have learned self-hypnosis to help with my anxiety over managing MM. I appreciate everyday as a bonus day & I know there will be days that aren’t so great. I also thank our Lord for all the blessings He has given me. Wishing you all the best!

Are you referring to managing the emotional and physical challenges associated with myeloma? If so, it's important to acknowledge that feeling overwhelmed or struggling is a natural part of dealing with a chronic condition like myeloma. Here are a few strategies that might help:

1. **Self-Kindness Meditation**: As mentioned in the "Self-Kindness When Struggling: 6-Minute Guided Meditation" resource, practicing guided meditation can be a supportive way to handle difficult moments. Phrases like “this is really hard right now” or “I am struggling” can help validate your feelings and promote self-compassion.

2. **Expressing Yourself**: According to the "Being Yourself Is More Than Enough" resource, sharing your feelings and experiences with others who understand can be very relieving. It’s okay to show that you’re not always strong or in control.

3. **Setting Boundaries**: Learning to say "no" can be crucial, as seen in the "Are You Afraid To Say No?" resource. It’s important to prioritize your health and well-being, and sometimes that means not engaging in activities that could deplete your energy further.

Remember, it's okay to seek support and take time for yourself. You're not alone in this journey.

Remember, you eat the elephant one bite at a time! Not all at once. Praying for you, that our God will take you through each day and each moment of each day. Keep us posted, and don't forget to celebrate each victory, no matter how small it might seem.

One day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time.
