What to do if you are diagnosed Looking after yourself – give yourself a break. You need to take care of your needs. Do what feels right for you, put yourself first for once. Sleep if you are tired and cry if you need too. If you find that after a few weeks you are still not coping, talk to your doctor. Do not hide from people if you need a hand. Ask for help, trust your doctors, and if you don’t feel confident or feel uncomfortable with them, get a second opinion. Yoga/meditation/comedy club – you may need to look outside your usual life pattern to something new. Yoga is a wonderful technique that stretches the body and muscles, gives flexibility and helps the mind and body to relax. For some people yoga helps the recovery process while helping the participant to learn a new way of exercising the whole body. Meditation for some is the way. Maybe you are a comedy person. You will go through different stages before, during and after treatment. Allow yourself to accept each stage but if you find that you are unable to cope or feel you cannot ‘get out of it’, talk to someone, ask for help. Remember to ask questions, seek information, and talk to people…. |
