Congratulations on finishing treatment @Molly001. You've been through a lot, be kind to yourself. I finished treatment almost 3 years ago. It's been like a roller coaster for me.

There are still things to process when the busy time of treatment ends. There's also time to get back to feeling well with the post cancer well-being programs offered by the Cancer Council and BCNA. Doing a Well-being after Cancer program helped me to move mentally to getting fitter from a focus on treatment and medicine. The other thing that helped me was having an interest. Work helped me as well because my students were more focused on themselves which was weirdly comforting! You're doing well, keep it up. x
