Talk About It

The other day while I was getting another test, a fellow patient told me about a place in Newton called The Wellness Community. I had heard that the problem with finding a support group when you have testicular cancer is that your odds of survival are so good compared to other types that you wind up feeling like a jerk. However I think this place will work. The central philosphy is that cancer patients will do better if they take an active role in learning about their condition and work with their doctor instead of just waiting for a solution to come. With lots of help from Sheela, that's what I'm trying to do. They also offer all kinds of Tai Chi and Yoga classes, with the idea that stress relief is also important. I used to do those things on my own so it all works for me. And best of all, there is no bible or scientology angle at the center. I think this is the place.
