Facing Cancer Recurrence, PTSD & Acknowledging Mental Health

@swift- Thank you. Giving back and writing are the two most helpful ways that I can help myself too. It really is a two-way street, isn't it?
Other than helping people and writing yourself how do you deal with your ill son? Is he able to write and use Connect to help him through his cancer? How old is he?

Interesting. I am on my second cancer - fist lung five years ago, now liver. Now there is also breast lesion we are setting aside until we deal with treatment for number two. I had no idea this could even happen. Very depressed, very anxious, very angry, probably in permanent denial. Not suresure how to take any of this.

He has sunken down lately , after his op on his cancer , his friends scattered , he is amazing in his 20s still they know this cancer is terminal . He has good days and not so good days , he said it's like waiting for time bomb to go off , he lost his only friend and seen more things happen to others then most people their age his precious wife is help and support. Yh sounds like you right that is the best way to deal with cancer and precious loss , by way of helping others grain strength and enjoy what they can helps us feel valuable . I know future is bright with hope that turns into love. Showing fellow dear precious ones feeling you kinda understand what they feel and being there helps them. It's hard to find balance sometimes , especially when you are exhausted from supporting others . So I write and keep smiling . Thank you dear precious merry volunteer for sharing your precious words of encouragement and your precious time , i especially appreciate. You have a precious kind heart, tc swift HUG from us all.

@swift - How are you bearing up under such continuous health bombardments? I don't know how you do this and also take care of yourself. I have turmeric tea everyday! It's from a company called RISHI in the US. Check it out. I drink the turmeric chai. It's so delicious!
I hope that your holidays are peaceful and that your son does a turn around for your present! Please stay in touch. You can help others on here as well.
