Fun and Laughter can help you through treatment by increasing relaxation.  Laughing causes the brain to release endorphins, which increases feelings of wellbeing, pleasure and relaxes your muscles.

2. Watch funny movies or TV shows.
3. Buy a funny desk calendar.
4. Read joke books or check out jokes on the Internet.
5. Go to a comedy show.

Surround yourself with upbeat people.  Let your family and friends know that it is ok to act normal around you.  For most people, it’s the first time they ever been around a cancer patient.
