Give Yourself A Break

Next » « Previous

6/11

Your body and emotions have been through a difficult time. Do not expect to be up to speed physically or mentally right away.

Pamper yourself. For example, consider a massage, hot tub, fresh flowers, or a night out.

Try to get some relaxation and rest. What is relaxing and restful is different for each person. For some people, it can be walking on a beach or in the woods. For some people, it is cleaning out the drawers. You know what has been relaxing and restful for you in the past. Build it in to your life.

If you have a spouse or significant other, consider taking a trip, or perhaps two trips. The first trip would just be to unwind after the treatment and to take time reconnecting with each other. The second trip can be a bonus for getting through treatment.

NOTE: If you decide to travel, the documents in "To Learn More" provide information about how to choose a destination and make appropriate preparations to help keep you healthy and provide information about what to do in case there is a medical emergency.
