Meditation 101 Yep, most people say that itâs a great idea, but they just canât do it. Itâs almost like the calm people that seem able to mediate are the very people that donât need to! Is it chicken or egg though? Who knows, who cares? The point is that meditation comes in lots of different âflavoursâ and it has documented emotional and physical health benefits. Itâs quite the fasion at the moment. Orange isnât the new black, itâs meditation. So, thereâs lots of different ways we can meditate, but a big misconception is that itâs all about 'emptying the mind'. Temping, but impractical. I am going to talk a bit about mindfulness meditation, which has become popular because its achievable, practical, portable (!) - and...

Coping with Christmas and coping with cancer Seeing the first decorations and marshmallow Santas in the shops reminds us that Christmas, and all it brings, is approaching. It is called the âsilly seasonâ for good reason as a time of giving, joy, thanks, relaxation and indulgence! Getting to this point has its challenges, however. Letâs think; thereâs the family politics to entangle (whose turn is it to host, who refuses to be in the same room as whom), presents to buy (battling for a car park, finding something for the âwoman who has everythingâ and then finding a way to pay for it all), the food to organise and eat (discussions about turkey vs ham vs seafood, or all three somehow elaborately rolled together a...
Being a dad and coping with cancer. Fatherâs Day is a perfect opportunity to think about the special men and boys in our lives. When we look at the greeting cards, they often present one big bunch of clichĂ©âs. There's dad mowing the lawn, dad drinking beer, watching sport, playing golf or fixing something (the cycling/lycra thing doesnât seem to have made it onto a greeting card yet, oh, yeahâŠrightâŠnow I get itâŠ!). Although itâs such a stereotype, dads seem to be defined by âdoing stuffâ.  Consequently, lots of the men I talk to find this a pretty hard part of having cancer treatment or recovering from it. Not being able to do things like they used to do is a big source of frustration.  As a...

What about sex?? When you are first diagnosed, often thoughts are all about survival and what on earth it might be like to get through surgery and other treatments. Yes, itâs true that you might think about how you or your partner might react to changes in your body, scars or differences in sensations; but often those thoughts are âshelvedâ for a bit while the whirlwind of appointments and treatment demands gets going. After cancer treatment, women and men can have concerns about their sexual and intimate lives that, if they are ignored, can become long-term problems. Changes to the way you think about yourself and your body, fatigue, pain, losses or changes in sensation (such as in the skin, nipples, penis), erectile changes, loss…
I’m scared the cancer will come back When you have been through cancer treatment, it is VERY normal to be worried that the cancer might return. Itâs a tricky time as others around you might expect you to feel all relieved and grateful that the treatment is finished and things can go back to ânormalâ (whatever that is!). Many people donât feel relieved, they feel exhausted and insecure; with no idea of how life might feel ânormalâ again. It is common to worry about every ache, pain, rash, headache â you name it, it seems like itâs cancer. Some people go to there even if you logically know itâs daft, that doubt in yourself and your body lurks in your mind. Itâs called âfear of…
