To avoid excess holiday stress, practice general relaxation exercises that will help you throughout your treatment:
- Ask friends and family members for help -- whether you need them to decorate, address cards or call the catering company to arrange a holiday meal.
- Shop online to avoid long lines or grab gift cards.
- Speak with a support group. The other patients there have managed similar situations before and can offer insight.
1. This blog is so helpful and supportive for cancer patients. I added a Cancer community on my website, www.shareWIK.com (share What I Know) and would love your input! ShareWIK is an online community bringing together people of all areas of expertise so that they can share what they know. Keep up the great work, and we would love to hear from you!
