So happy for you @PatsyN,
Isn't it weird how we get to the end and don't know how to feel? We know how others think we should feel yet it doesn't happen that way.. I guess maybe it's from having such a focus the whole way through treatment. The anxiety of the unknown with each part of treatment, how will you body and brain react? Just get through the surgery, just get through the chemo, just get through the rads, just get to the END. Like there are all these goal posts to get to throughout and you tick them off one by one and get ready for the next one. You stay strong, you stay focused and you just keep going one foot after the other. Then wham, treatment is over, scans are good, thanks for coming and we'll see you in three months. Flatline....................what now?
Mental exhaustion takes over, there are no goal posts to chase and you just have to feel how you feel, not how you think you should. Do whatever it takes. It's time to get all that stuff out.
You fought a war and won. It doesn't mean you wont be scarred and battle weary.
All the best lovely, hope you feel better soon. xoxoxox.
