Ice and other matters
I have just finished talking with my husband about anxiety experienced as a result of cancer experience. I wish there were a medicine that kept us from playing the "what if" game and helped us with the whole "peace of mind" attitude. But as it seems, this must be a huge part of my lesson, and I'm trying.
This morning I was experiencing anxiety and asked myself, "Do I want to spend this precious day worrying or spend it enjoying my life?" That helps me get clear on my focus.
I kept my fingers in ice during chemo treatment as advised by onc nurses and it worked for me! You feel somewhat foolish, but then so does a lot of this.
Who would have thought we'd all be connected like this?
