When I was first diagnosed, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't dealing with depression as well. I continued many of the things I had been doing: meditating, praying, walking, talking with friends and family, and listening to music. I have been surprisingly happy during my treatment! Also, I have been keeping a gratitude list since 1997 and I continue to write at least 5 things that I am grateful for everyday.

I have lymphoma but it’s in remission. Praising the Lord and the Medical discovery of new Lymphoma treatments!

I agree with all these suggestions but feel a very important one has been left off. It is service to others. I volunteer at my church, a retreat center and with an art group. It is important to give of yourself to others in need. Even when mobility is difficult you can correspond with people and make phone calls letting everyone know that they are important. Too much focus on your own issues only makes them worse and increases fear. Spread Joy and it comes back twofold💕

It's wonderful to give to others isn't it to see the joy on their faces and know u helped to put it there keep up the great work Edna 👍 God is blessing u 🙏
And I thank u for helping others I wish I knew how to help but I guess I'm a bit selfish cuz if I can't take my little dog ( that helped me thru cancer) I won't go anywhere almost won't go anywhere( I will go to my oncologist and leave my little John behind because of the people being 😷 but most other places he is with me I'm sorry for being selfish but I can and will give people like u a pat on the back for being so wonderful to others and having an open heart and a kind and loving word to give others keep it up Edna ur GREAT! 👍🙏🙏🙏

That's great. Keeping things as normal as possible is important. I remember that I thought I'd go nutz without a work schedule so I made up a faux schedule just to keep my sanity. It worked! Or maybe I went nutz and just don't know it, lol
