I have dlbcl and just found out I have lung cancer. I talk to friends and listen to music. It helps me so I don't think about my cancers. Prayers for everyone going through cancer
I found that a monthly music subscription combined with a set of headphones offered me a lot of variety and allowed me to get away from it all no matter where I was physically or emotionally. 🙏🏻 Dennis(Blood-Cancer.com TEAM) thanks for the prayers! I'm saying one for you right now. Wishing you peace and happiness on your journey,

keeping busy and friends and family outings and trips
Nothing beats all three, especially a trip! I'm happy you're learning to manage on your terms in holding what is dear to you. Wishing you the very best. 😀
Smoking weed and talking to others and cracking jokes
Having a good ole belly laugh sure does make a big difference! I don't think that everyone has that outlet. For those of us who do, it means the world. Thanks so much, Maria
I FOUND working out is my best way of dealing with my cancer!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here. I discovered the more I engaged in life and became more active, the better I felt emotionally, physically, and socially. Good to hear you are taking charge. Dennis(Blood-Cancer.com TEAM) Yep, different forms of exercise can be beneficial in one way or another. I'm happy this has worked in your situation. Wishing you the very best!
