Re: Feeling down...
I too have felt the same way recently, tired of all the tests, doctors, poking, prodding, mental games going on in my head - life with cancer can be so exhausting! Tracy - you really have some great advice for us to use! How about those new paint places popping up in shopping malls? That seems fun! Someone got me one of those adult coloring books you see on the TV commercials, I thought, "I'm never going to do that!" but last satuday, I found myself sitting in my chair and having fun coloring! It was mentally stimulating!
Stay positive, don't let cancer win - fight, fight, fight!!
