[quote=Anonymous]I was diagnosed a couple months ago. Here’s what has helped me, non-medically: I stopped working because I wasn’t allowed to work from home. I no longer do housework. It just saps energy too much. My DH and teens handle the day to day stuff and once a week, my friends send someone to clean common areas. Delivered meals. Naps. Daily if possible. Gentle stretching and walks. Family and friends check in on me and send me encouraging messages. I saw a video in which a woman said she and her DH don’t talk about cancer after 8 pm. This way, they get out from under the weight of it for a couple hours before sleep. Once we started doing that, I slept better.[/quote]
