Hi @Sockss
How are you doing today?
Continuing daily life while living with a cancer diagnosis is tough. Let me tag a few members to see if they have any advice for how they mentally cope with cancer.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

From the little I know, there are cancers that are highly treatable and one can live cancer free. Not so much with other cancers that are very aggressive and seem to rear their ugly head from time to time. I have multiple myeloma which is treatable, however not curable. I am starting my third therapy soon as the first two worked for nearly a year each, but not in the long run. My life seems to revolve around waiting for the cancer to return and finding a therapy that works for me. I try to be active, socially involved, and keeping a positive attitude. Does not always work that way, but it is my path. Good luck to all fighting the good fight.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
