Hello all!
My name is Paul and I am recently diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. I am coping well with the initial treatment and am grateful to have few symptoms of the disease and no side-effects from the medication. However, I have other stresses including unemployment, having been made redundant in September and issues around isolation as I am shielding. A friend has suggested that I look for an online mindfulness group that I might join. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? I have a mindfulness app but wondered if there was anything on Zoom/Teams that people have experience of?
Thanks!
Paul.
Hi Paul and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place.
I can see that you've found and joined the chronic myeloid leukaemia group which would be a great place to ask your question, share experiences and get support.
When you have a minute it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
