Hi Jacqui,
I was sorry to hear about your circumstances. You have every right to being feeling down. You have been through a lot and it does take a huge toll on you. While it is very hard for carers they also do not understand what we are going through and how we must be feeling. My husband said this throughout and I think it makes the situation even harder for them sometimes. They say cancer changes a person and it can cause conflict in your relationships as you are different than when first diagnosed and have different priorities. It is great that you are thinking of going on a holiday. You need to spoil yourself. Like you I have now finished my treatment and have waves of thinking about what happens if it comes back. I try to keep myself busy and stay positive but it will always be at the back of my mind. Every now and then I have allowed myself some self pity and to have a whinge about it I think we need to let it out occasionally as we are only human.
Just remember you are not alone you have a wonderful family and all us pink sisters here for your support.
