I tried to resume shortly thereafter. FHCRC (always doing experiments) had a doctor working on pain and toxicity. Her angle was mindfulness, mediation, hypnosis. Didn't work on me.

Though I do yoga style relaxation, manage my pains, I've not been able to attain trance state again, much less the next stage.

I think it's because I can't concentrate, focus that way any more. Cuz chemo brain.

The only success I've had is with http://thewayofseeing.com. Focus is like a muscle. I've gotten a bit better. But my best effort is mindfulness.

re coping:

One day at time. Happy to be here. :)

Wish you well and I hope you have a fruitful journey :)
