Cancer journal

Hi Charden 

I used a journal when I was diagnosed and having treatment. I found it really helpful to get my thoughts onto paper and try to process them. I did talk to friends and family, but I didn’t want cancer to be the only thing I talked about, so my journal became a private and safe space where I could get out whatever was on my mind. It’s also interesting to look back at too when this is all over, at least I found it to be. x 

Yes, I’ve also used my thread on the site as a similar resource since of course it’s fairly anonymous, very few folk know me outside of the site. I’ve found a journal really helps, there is stuff I put in there that I’d not even put on this site. I don’t write daily but roughly weekly, plus if I’m away I do write in my ‘motorhome diary!)

Thank you for reply thats exactly how I feel I dont want to be talking about my cancer all the time thats why i haven't told anybody I work with except my manager because I don't want it to define me 

1. Thanks for reply This thread is great isnt it?, ive found it very informative as well as therapeutic some times 

Im a really private person so being able to talk freely about concerns is so helpful 

Hi Charden 

I kept a blog on this site. I don’t update it frequently now but it was an essential way of letting off steam during harder times.  A trip with triple negative breast cancer
