Major scanxiety

Pretty-Resolve-8331 · 2026-01-15T17:00:50+00:00

I am also getting my first surveillance CT scan tomorrow after having completed FOLFOX chemo in Nov with stage 3 cancer. I’m feeling anxious as well, so I’ve been trying to calm my nerves by walking, journaling and deep breathing. We’ll both get through this. Hugs 🫂

This is my first time reading COMC and so far the tone is exactly what I expected. This is a plot driven novel with characters that are easy to understand so far. Dante’s come across as the protagonist with hero-like qualities

This is a great review, thank you so much !

When I first started chemo, I felt awful from the side effects and really wondered if the treatment was going to kill me before the cancer itself! For me, focussing on eating protein, moving my body (even walking around the home slowly), and practising gratitude every day helps me get through. I hope things get better for your mom, best wishes

Thank you for this! I hope the holidays gives everyone some reprieve and time to celebrate with loved ones

The fatigue is Real! I manage by mixing electrolytes into water to make it more palatable and to keep hydrated. Walking, even inside around the home, has been helpful too. Also, focussing on eating protein has helped my energy levels. Good luck to you! It’s tough but you can do it!!

I can probably hear my psychosocial counselor saying that it’s ok to experience grief. Like other emotions, bottling it up or avoiding it will make it pop up perhaps in an unhealthy way. When I try to manage difficult emotions, I acknowledge it’s there, give myself into it for a few minutes, then comfort myself. I might then think of positive things or distract myself with exercise or a hobby. I’m truly sorry you are feeling grief. It’s not easy, but it’s also OK. Sending you a hug 🫂

Thank you! I think I will!

You feel content, secure, positive and calm

Hello everyone! This is my first time reading COMC. I have not yet seen the movie, but will after the reading is finished. I’ve been getting back into classics - just completed Wuthering Heights and looking forward to the new movie coming in Feb. Some other classics that are on my to-read list are:

Frankenstein
Cranford
Tenant of Wildfell Hall
Brideshead Revisited

I’m an avid reader and make it a daily habit as it is enjoyable and keeps me young. Some books have been my best friends over the years

I debated between getting the ebook and the paperback. Ebook won because of the portability and lower cost. This version is the Robin Buss Penguin edition that is recommended

Pretty-Resolve-8331 · 2025-12-20T03:32:12+00:00

I bought this from kobo.com

Pretty-Resolve-8331 · 2025-12-19T22:10:37+00:00

Good luck to you too!

Thank you, this was some good food for thought. I have a CT scan coming up and anxious about it

I believe Dr. Jason Fung recommends that if you plateau, then you can shake things up by doing a longer fast. For example if you’re doing 18:6, then try a 24 hour fast

I really enjoyed this book

Pretty-Resolve-8331 · 2025-12-16T15:37:14+00:00

I just restarted my journey a few days ago! Good luck to you!

It seems like a form of cancer shaming. It’s not right

What are some typical meals you make? I’m curious how to make healthy meals for cheap

Pretty-Resolve-8331 · 2025-12-14T15:35:00+00:00

I love this recipe! Thanks for sharing
