Struggling to Maintain Hobbies During MCL Treatment

Hey, has anyone with MCL felt like they've had to ditch a hobby they used to love because of treatment? I used to be all about biking, but it's been tough to keep up with lately.

I hear you... I too swayed to more relaxed activities during my treatment... I got rrreally hooked to meditation. and I like to swing by this kids’ book club and read stories to the little ones. helps me find some solace! find alternative activities that'll make you happy... It's super important in life! Sending lots of love your way!

@Yoki9 Meditation is something I got into more when diagnosed and I realized I should have been doing it all along! BTW - Loving your idea about reading stories to little ones. I'm going to learn if I can do something like that where I live too! Thank you for the inspiration!

@MuaniJameson During my treatment for a different type of blood cancer I tried to do activities I loved in the morning while I had some energy (do you have more in the morning?) and also to give in to taking naps. Your body needs them to recover.
