Dear Alison , I know excactly how you feel ! I too thought that once I had finished my treatment I would start to feel better and more normal. But nothing is the same and I am trying to come to terms with my new normal ! My night sweats are worse and my joints ache all the time, I feel that I have been left with the body of an old woman, and sleep I think is something in my past.
I have started to see a phycologist who is helping a lot, and have started to take some mild antidepresants. I decided that I needed a little help and will not give myself greif about it. I must admit they are helping! My pyc tells me that sometimes after treatment you can suffer from a type of post traumatic stress, and I can well believe it . Always remember that you BC sisters are only an email away . I really hope that you ar feeling better. Love coming to you Hilary xxx
