The process of journaling was the most profound part of my cancer experience. It allowed me a place to set aside worries, concerns, and fears and to keep track of the discussions and progress with my doctors over the many weeks and months. I encourage using a journal—-write notes, doodle, draw, add stickers and notes left for you. It will be a reflective healing tool when you are done.
