Getting your confidence back

It's a tough road doing treatment and when I finished chemo and rads the fatigue kicked in big time, so did tamoxifen! It took me another six months to get energy back and during this time I found it very hard to reconcile with myself because yes as you explain it I too was standing in that wind tunnel with four little kids as well. I finished all my active treatment at the end of October. I was diagnosed around the same time as a friend, we finished treatment close to each other also only at her 12 month scans they found mets, this shocked me! Life is a very precious gift and there is certainly no guarantees on growing old. So by mid November we decided to go travelling, have some family time and cross some things of the bucket list. I pulled my kids out of school, hooked up the van and we have been travelling Aus ever since. I am very grateful for this time with them as they were pushed aside a lot during my frequent travel for treatment. All six of us are surviving in a little van and having a great time discovering this land and yes I have even ticked a few items off the list. It's going to be hard to go back to work, but I'm planning our next adventure already.
