What brought you joy today?

Posted by northoftheborder @northoftheborder, Jun 28, 2024

If you've been living with cancer for a while, you know it's not all gloom and doom. Where did you find joy today? I'll start:

1. Working in my garden.
2. Meeting my daughter for tea.
3. Home-made pizza for dinner.
4. My spouse (always).
5. Some interesting online discussions.
6. Rereading a good novel.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

@shirley71 !!! No !!! WHY !!!
Wondering are you talking about radiation from a scan or from a treatment? What could they possibly be treating without a diagnosis?

@dave56pa I have SCLC. Dr says it is the 1st place it will spread to but I do not like the long term side effects

1. Waking up alert
2. Surprise early morning lovings with my wife
3. Leaving the windows open for the breeze to come in
4. Taking chances by leaving these comments and being honest (kinda brings me joy but also some anxiety)

Being at home and sleeping in my own bed.
Having my husband at home with me.
Knowing we have a great bunch of friends and of course great doctors that helped us get here.

Oatmeal with sweet strawberries.

@wdytys Sounds great! I add dried cranberries and raisins (which rehydrate when I pour the boiling water onto the oats), but same idea.

@wdytys Dare I also recommend a tiny dash of real maple syrup? 😉

What brought me joy last night was feeling well enough to go rehearse with my community choir. Instead of feeling like "someone going through chemo", I felt like a normal person doing what I love.
