Emotions & mindset

What coping tools did you lean on?

TherapyMeditationMusicHumorJournalingRest and pacing

The coping tools I leaned on were my family, exercise, rest, meditation, TV shows and hope for a better future :) it was a really rough diagnosis, the treatment was very intense. Something that really kept me going was setting a goal in the future that was past the date when my cancer treatments would hopefully be over so that way I had something to look forward to and keep me going when things were dark.
