Hi, QueenKong
Try calling the counseling center on a regular basis to see if there has been a cancelation and if you can get in earlier. The NCCN Distress Management Guildlines are posted on this site at http://oralcancerfoundation.org/treatment/guidelines.php - you will need to scroll down a bit to see this. You're supposed to be getting this kind of help with your treatment. Maybe you could pick up a couple of key words from the guidelines and use them when asking for an earlier appointment.
Also - if you are in the northern hemisphere, it is a time of low light and cold. Whenever you can get natural light, do so - a short walk, sitting by the window, etc. I am convinced that walking our old dog (sadly passed) daily helped my husband get through treatment fairly good shape emotionally and physically. His treatment was in the winter also, and started 4 years ago. He is doing very well.
Best wishes,
Maria
