To follow on from the earlier comments, while I realise how fortunate I have been that the cancer was found, it's a damn hard road at times, coping with treatment and then the side effects of AIs. The thing that I am struggling with most at the moment is that my resilience is in such a fragile state, and I know that the scanxiety and cancerversary probably feed into this. What I didn't take into account during active treatment was that when real life resumes, the rest of the crap is still there and you just add the delights of BC and it's associated baggage on top. Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been posting much lately. I'm still reading things and I love you all but composing posts is mostly a little beyond my brain and energy levels at present.
I suspect that this may be a new feature of life post-BC where the only option is to slog through, trimming non-essential services, until things are resolved and mental energy is restored (slightly). That's my strategy, anyway - if it takes too much and it doesn't need to happen, off it goes. I won't say I'm okay but I am surviving and dealing with one thing at a time (just wish life would stop adding more!).
So, happy 2 years to us! And for me, hopefully normal transmission will resume shortly.
