How To Divert Your Thoughts Away From Cancer
Summary
- When you go through treatment, you get worries that pop up in your head
- It starts with something small like an ache or a pain and then somehow you start thinking about something awful then it spirals out of control until you can’t stop thinking about it
- I believe it’s because we lose so much control with cancer things just seem to come out of nowhere
- So the key to get your power back and that starts with looking at what is within your control
- It seems like you can’t do anything about it, but when you break it down, it turns out that you have control or influence over most things
- No need for drama - just being straight up and honest and direct about what’s going on for you
- 1 thing beyond your control is whether the treatment has worked… Everything else is up to you:
- How much you know about what’s happening
- How you deal with worry
- Dealing with treatment, what to expect and how to manage it better
- Your support network
- Life around cancer
- Your recovery after treatment
