Try to keep a positive attitude. It will help you explore treatment options and make wise treatment choices.

Continue to participate in activities that you enjoy, things that you find relaxing and fun. Anything that reduces your stress levels and helps you feel calmer and stronger emotionally will benefit you throughout your transplant experience. Some patients find books or tapes about coping or relaxation helpful. Some practice relaxation techniques such as massage, meditation, or hypnosis. Still others find comfort in prayer or spiritual meditation.

Remember that you are in training for a medical marathon. Keeping your mind and spirit strong will help your body heal.
