Only metaphorically, @kmakm?
Sorry about the flippancy @loo...Welcome to the forum you didn't want to be relevant to you. If you're anything like many of us, you will find emotions seesawing and often a bit out of control. Forget the "journey" - it's a rollercoaster. As others have said, it may be months before you start processing what's happened to you. It often comes towards the end of active treatment. And as lovely as family and friends can be, they really don't get it. That's why this place is invaluable. Not just for the experiential information but because you can rage and cry and sometimes have a laugh.
