They're great observations Kerr Kerr, and unfortunately we can feel a bit like we're just another body on the conveyor belt of cancer.
You're right we do have to become our own advocates and that is something that is so hard to do, especially when you feel that you have been bashed and bruised and your life is not your own and it's not something I always succeed at, but I am getting better at it! I think it's also important that we use our voices wherever we can, such as through this network / research studies etc so that our experiences are not lost and organisations like BCNA can help us to improve things for those coming along after us.
Best of luck in building your confidence, it sounds as though you are well on the way to an even stronger you. Jane xx
