How To Manage Mentally With This Illness As The Life You Knew Has Changed So Much.
It is definitely hard!
There are days that I feel really sorry for myself but then when I go to the oncologist and see some of the other patients that are getting chemo some of them daily I feel very fortunate. I just try to take it day by day with a few prayers thrown in for good measure.
I think you are right I told everyone I had it lot of concern ect to begin with and over time nothing I mean who wants to be round the ill guy.
walking preferably with a friend - get outside - spend time with friends. I lost my husband 2 years ago from cancer so I am alone (I do have teenagers) - but I will not let anything get me down! I have lovely friends who keep me busy. Only do one job a day and distract yourself as much as poss! Try not to think about it - nothing wrong with living in denial that's what I say!!
Time!!! It mostly took time and milestones (that I had no control over) to accept my new life. Then I have the best, most loving wife in the world who takes care of me. I just have to let her do it. Acceptance (this takes time as well). Cherish the good days and let go of the bad days.
Right now, I'm feeling pretty good.
I will have to give meditation a go and to work on positivity.
