Both the Living with incurable cancer  n  the  Melanoma groups have recently started up a thread based  on the idea of listing 3 good things (at the end of ) each day. It's rather like the idea of using a gratitude journal, but is easier n quicker to do. It also focusses the  mind.

Mine for today -

  1. Realising a rainbow striped notebook I found in a charity shop the other day would make a fine gratitude journal 
  2. Appreciating having a fan on a hot, sticky day
  3. Enjoying my" Breakfast scramble" wrap for lunch

    Hi Buttercup, lovely idea. My 3 things for today,

    .....treating us, my son, his partner and my grandkids to a takeaway dinner in the garden. I often cook a family dinner but Im off food at the moment and cookings a chore most days. It was lovely...no washing up lol

    My grandaughter, aged 4, picking up an empty snail shell and asking where the snail had gone?

    My grandaughter, again, running to tell me, excitedly ,that our dog (male)he has just stood on 3 legs Nana! One leg in in air! Like this Nana, as she tried to copy. I didnt get round to mentioning he was having a wee cos I was laughing too much

    Hi , I’ve just been told I have kidney cancer after a CT scan for a different medical complaint , it’s all very daunting Unamused

  • Hello Gary56

    Welcome to the  community n the Kidney cancer group especially . I can understand  u feeing daunted  

    Kidney cancer is slow growing compared to other cancers. The usual way of dealing with it is by surgery .

    IF u get secondaries there are many drugs available to treat these n  more being developed each year.

    So  though it's scary, it's doable 

    There are lots of ppl in this group who can support u.

    If you've any questions, do ask us.
