The more time I'm given the more time I get to think. My older brother right after I told him my diagnosis said, you need to keep yourself busy, but if I stay busy, then I get tired... so keep staying busy and you won't notice you are tired.
For those who may also go through this I want you to know that the mind is a powerful thing. Negative thoughts arise, and try to grow. Last week I got the best news I could possibly get, which has lifted my spirits in my quiet time.
The two worst parts of my day used to be driving anywhere, and trying to go to sleep. I look back at all the research I have done. All the experts I have spoken to, all the patients I have spoken to, and I believe I have made the best decision for me moving forward with my treatment.
You will hear from others, that this is a very treatable cancer, the doctors have given me my scores and are confident that I am T1, Gleason 3+3, the MRI has come back beautiful. The mind will still work on you.
This may or may not be a pointless post. Just true stream of thought stuff today.
Not sure I've recommended this book yet so here it goes:
Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, By Matthew Walker
