Hi @PatsyN, as you can see, you are definitely not alone in the very mixed feelings that come with ending treatment. As @SoldierCrab has said, this is often the time when people fall apart a bit as your focus shifts from the day to day to the long term and the enormity of what you have faced and the grieving for the old you can hit you like a freight train.
Can I suggest that you write about what you are feeling at the moment. It can be helpful to keep a diary of this time and chart the little changes, victories and joys (and not so joyous bits) that can occur over time.
Do others have stories of how they managed this time of transition?
Don't forget our Helpline team is here for you too.
And finally, congratulations PatsyN on your fabulous news (even if it is overshadowed at the moment by all the mixed emotions).
