This might seem silly.

@Janny54 It is interesting that you said you realised why the question came up...you're thinking about it now. I am finding that some people have an immediate reaction to different parts of the process and for others it's in stages or delayed.  I'm thankful that organisations like this and the Cancer Council give you access to their programs for life, if I'm correct.  Because I do feel the body and the mind undergo a trauma and you may be so caught up on the treadmill of chemo, rad, etc that you may only realise what you've been through sometime down the track.  I've got 2 more rads to go but am only attending my first group therapy in a few weeks.  I don't know if I will like it but will have a go anyway.  I feel it's the first time I will have spoken about things publicly rather than online.  During my treatment I couldn't have tried group therapy ... if anyone was kind I would feel teary.  I was also too tired to do anything social.  That's why online is so valuable when you feel lousy at 3am!  Onward through the fog! xxx  @Tracey_B yes a sense of humour really helps!
