Theresa,
It’s been around 7 months since my diagnosis and for me the biggest challenge of watch and wait for me is the mental game. I try to walk a lot and stay active. I am meeting with doctors at Mayo at the end of April since they work across and with other medical fields of study. I find this site useful too so welcome.

I do find activity is great for my attitude and I am glad I am able. Walking and talking with a friend on a nice day is an important part of my self care. Unfortunately my spleen is so enlarged (21 cm) some things like yoga only increase my awareness and concern. I just got clearance to wait another 6 months before I repeat studies so I am happy I can let it go for the summer. It does help hearing how others cope. Let us know how the April visit goes!

Renee, I hope your visit to Mayo is helpful for you. While I was at Mayo, I found the American Cancer Society office to be to informative. Just stroll through, it has quite a library of books, pamphlets, and at times, offer some talks/presentations on various topics. It's a fairly large glassed-in area on the west side of the Gonda lobby on the ground floor ( street level). Let me know if you have any questions.
