I know exactly how you are feeling when you say that your family have moved on. I was diagnosed 20th Dec 2012 with two tumours, one TNBC and the other vertually triple positive ER, PR & HER2. I spent most of last year in treatment (chemo and Herceptin) and having surgery (double mastecomy and immediate recon) in September. Although the major treatment etc. has finished, I still have a bit to get through yet with Herceptin until May, checkups and Femara tablets for 5 years possibly 10. My family have all breathed a big sigh a relief that I am through the worst but only today I had a little melt down because I have just returned to work and I am overwhelmed with the changes and pressures that have come with that. Everyone thinks that I am normal again but I don't think that will be the case for a long time yet. I am also still not completely recovered from the surgery and I'm told that this may take at least 12 months. Even my work colleagues are saying, "Isn't it great that you are back to normal" and I just smile and agree. But it's really not okay yet. I'm hoping that once I settle in a bit I will find that things are not so daunting.
As the ladies here have said, you are definitely not only and it's great to be able to chat to each other and know that we all understand.
Sending a hug to you Natalie and hope you are doing okay today.
