How has blood cancer affected your self confidence?

Blood cancer can have a big impact on us emotionally. How has it affected your self confidence? Tell us below.

  1. The fatigue and brain fog gets in the way of my normal activities.

    1. Definitely a real thing - I could tell you stories of brain fog that made everyone around me crack up with the gibberish I would spew! Instead, though, I'll just share this article on some tips to help with it haha : https://blood-cancer.com/living/manage-brain-fog Keep on keepin' on, DPM

  2. Brain fog, pain from headaches and lack of sleep
    have all eroded my confidence. Also I have an issue because people don't seem to think I still have cancer, because I'm in remission. .As far as i'm concerned, I'll have it for the rest of my life, since follicular lymphoma is incurable.
