Why should life threatening experiences change us for the better? Read Christopher Hitchens' Mortality for a more realistic take on the old saw - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Cancer changes us in all sorts of ways, and not always for the better, despite the popular pink tinted glasses approach. Be gentle with yourself; small slow changes and achievements are more likely to be worthwhile in the end. The end of treatment often provokes a sense of fear and confusion, where we go from being the centre of medical attention to establishing our own new sense of what is normal.
Best wishes for the continuing journey.... Pam
