It's only a short time since treatment finished. Your body is still recovering. Honour that need for it to take time to heal. You will. Mentally and emotionally we need time to adjust to our physical change and our mental change on how we see the world. I am still under active treatment until next year. My life is still planned around surgeries and infusions. It will seem strange not to do that. Bit by bit I am returning to my old life. But very slowly. My foggy head only cleared when I started on optifast to try and shed the 19kg I put on. I can't help but wonder if all those added vitamins in it made the difference. Only now...14kg down, do I feel like I have my body back. It will never be the same. It aches. It's scarred and parts are numb. But it is my body and I will learn to love the new one. I foubd menopause a difficult transitional time...I just didn't feel like me for a time, but slowly my body adapted. It's okay to grieve. It's okay to feel sad. Just plan to do one thing a day that brings you joy and soon you will find your smile and sparkle again. Kath x
