I think I get kind of how you feel.
Yesterday I got word that Bone and CT scans showed no signs of Mets - best news ever right? And it was for about a couple of hours. But then I remembered, I still have cancer. And that still really REALLY sucks.And though the results are positive, having them now means we are moving forward with treatment which is just a big slap in the face reminder that I have cancer.
So yes, be kind to yourself. Dont compare your tragedy to someone elses. You have cancer and you are allowed to feel bad even when you have good news because your baseline is still having this really awful thing happening to you.
I hope you can find a way to pick yourself up again. Maybe looking into doing some advocating is a way to do that but just make sure you aren't pushing yourself too much. Big hugs xx
