I'm at a very similar place to you. Even though my treatment is over now, I used to get confused at times about why people were enquiiring how I was going or if I was ok - I would think, "Why wouldn't I be? ... Oh yeah, that's right..."
It took me a while to feel like myself again, but you're right, it does eventually happen!

Radiation made me feel a bit "down" , as in quite tired, which got frustrating as I travelled quite well through chemo. They will tell you everything before you start it, but I didn't realise exactly how tired I would get. Physically, radio was harder for me than chemo, and I felt more like I was being treated for a condition. But, it does end! I finished in early June, and am, as you say, moving forward! Best wishes for the remainder of your treatment :-)
