Hi,
I have finished my treatment a year ago.
Went through a battle at the same time when my son did his VCE.I thought it happened to me only, and That I am the unluckiest person on this world! One of many of my self-pity moments
A year later, he is at Melbourne Uni , and I consider myself survivor.
Back to normal was hard.From full time senior I work now part time.No as a senior any more by choice.I truly believe that stress is major cause of all health issues.And work can be very stressful place.
I found hard to face chemo brain on a first place.My memory is nothing like before.Not to mention movie and book titles.Easy to forget everything.I am making little reminders to myself from now on.
Second - fear.Constant fear, that cancer can and might come back.I was lucky enough to catch it early first time.What if............
I don't want to think.
It will take time, effort and tears to get back to normal.
Is it tamoxifen, or PMS but I became extremely emotional.
The question is still there :What is my normal now ?
