Maintaining Hope During Cancer

Should I compare my recovery progress with others?

No you should not compare your cancer recovery progress with others. Because everyone is different, every body is different, everyone's emotions are different and everyone's circumstances are different. And you are you, and this is your experience, your fight against cancer.

What are some ways to lift my spirits during cancer treatment?

There are many ways to lift your spirits during cancer treatment. Pets are a great comfort, as is soothing music and candles - just whatever is soothing and reassuring and comforting to you, use it during cancer treatment. I used to go to bed every night with a tape on, and it was just beautiful music, but it was very soothing to me whilst I was going through cancer treatment. And I would put lavender oil on.
