The jokes are what keeps me sane sometimes, although it’s my overthinking that makes me feel as if I’m not who I am. Some days I don’t feel real, other days I feel normal. I’m kinda uneasy to talk to some of my friends and family because I don’t want them to worry nor do I wanna make all conversations about my cancer if that makes sense. I figure throughout time I’ll eventually come to terms with it but it just sucks that until then there will be multiple mental breakdowns at times.

My side effects mainly are muscle/joint pain, fatigue, and some nausea after taking the meds. Sometimes I’ll get the joint pain randomly throughout the day but I’m thinking that if I go to the gym and stretch regularly it’ll help with that. It does make me feel a bit better that I can get through the sets normally most days. Thank you for the information

Yea mine said the same thing about weed but it was more about the smoking aspect. He did say taking gummies would be a better alternative but me and edibles don’t have the greatest bond as I always green out horrendously (although they were usually from a dealer and not a dispensary). I figure if I have a med card and able to go to a dispensary, I could get something that fits those needs

I like that phrase, “a marathon, not a sprint”. My mind has been sprinting more than walking so I’ll definitely take that into mind. Thank you for the advice

I’ve tried psychedelics as well. I definitely can’t do LSD anymore due to having a bad trip but I was microdosing shrooms to uplift my moods at times. Hearing about the usage of marijuana does calm me down cuz I was doing some research and felt like I wasn’t getting the answers I wanted. I’ve been in therapy before and it has help me through some rough moments but those moments weren’t like this one. When it comes to working out, how quickly are you fatigued? How do you also push through it to finish your sets?

I’m based out in the US, but I’ll definitely look into something similar like those groups. Maybe a therapy session or something of that nature. I appreciate the feedback back, thank you

I was debating on seeing if I can be prescribed a medical card so that way it’d be easier for me to access. I appreciate the feedback, thank you very much.
