No-one, categorically no-one, should regret any capacity to breeze through this!! I breezed through my first 3 months of chemo. 2nd 3 months brought me down to earth so always remember, things may change! A life threatening illness is just that - some of us will get through with a bit of singeing, other will get seriously burned (sometimes literally!). I don't want anyone feeling guilty for not being "as bad" as someone else. You have crossed one line - something that might kill you, long before you are 95, entered your life. This must be much harder when it has happened to someone you care for too. How you deal with it varies immensely. Many just want to get back to their normal lives as soon as possible, many carve out a new normal and add something, often a bit intangible, from the experience. Some find their lives diminished in different ways and carry grief. I am a bit of a Lucy too - Peanuts cartoon, never happy until I know more than is good for me! So ask away - your medical team, here, wherever - until you get the information you need to deal with this part of your life in the way you want. Best wishes.
