not every day is bad

another post, no important things to report today, had a fairly uneventful day at work. Submitting an abstract to the ASH (American Society of Hematology)-Meeting in Atlanta in December proved as quite a challenge though. I got much worse with patience after my surgery. So maneuvering my way through 1001 sub-menues and answering stupid questionnaires, when I just want to get the task done drives me crazy.
Missed my meditation class today. thats bad I really should try to go every monday.
Actually, it helps a lot exactly with the patience issue. It also improved my concentration a lot. Well thats probably more an advice to the brain surgery patinents in general than specifically to cancer patients. But also in regards to cancer, I think meditation is a good thing: It just makes the terrible become more bearable and helps me to focus on myself, and I learn how to feel comfortable in my mind again. After the diagnosis I had the feeling my brain doesn't belong to myself anymore but is inhabited by evil entities (cancer cells). Meditation helps to deal with that mindset. I can highly recommend it. OK, have to finish. I am going to workout now, also a helpful strategy to feel healthy (even if it may not help for cancer, it feels very good afterwards. And what feels good can't be all bad, can it?) ;-)
Ok, until next time then! Don't forget: Life's a good thing, even if its hard to see sometimes!
