Agree Mel - it is the emotional well being, that is the part that unless you're here on this forum or actually been there your dear family and friends cannot always get it!
It tends to hit when you are on a table for a scan or a needle is coming at you and you think goodness before this I didn't know about these drugs, tests, drips, specialists.............who are all designed to help us but it tests our inner strength! The external scars heal but the inner take time and do they ever heal? Most on here say I have lost my normal or I look forward to the normal returning and we search for it or accept that this new normal is different from before as this journey has made us into a stronger version of the old! Who knows, we are all different!
Tracey I hope your rads are easier as you go along and look forward to seeing some more of your drawings on the forum.
Take care and sending all a virtual hug from Christine xx
