Week 4
THEME OF THE WEEK: Physical Concerns
I invite you to reflect this week on the physical concerns that having cancer and going through cancer treatment has created:
—What physical symptoms are you experiencing from the cancer itself?
—What symptoms has your treatment created?
—As you go through radiation, what has come up for you? Have you experienced a painful or annoying rash, lower energy, difficulty swallowing, fears over long-term physical effects?
Notice what physical concerns have arisen, and document these moments. Documenting can be in the form of journaling, capturing a photo of the moment with a short caption, or taking a quick video with your commentary.
Once you have instituted the mindfulness practices in the recordings below, you may also add to your journaling and documenting if/when you notice an improvement in physical symptoms.
