Psychological Intervention reduces fear of cancer

I'm on the cycle explained below. Even with the PARP-inhibitor niraparib (I'm non-BRCA gene) I will only have about a year of cancer-free life and then another round of chemo, and so on. But there is a new drug: alpha-folate receptor-targeting thymidylate synthase inhibitor that could be life saving for ovarian cancer patients.

So don't be down! Carry on and find day-to-day happiness (dogs, children, gardening, walking...). Mindfulness meditation is also a great tool!
