Flat and Sad
I was diagnosed 17 months ago now. I've had the mastectomy, the six months of chemo, the radiation and I'm coming up for my last infusion of Herceptin soon.

Hi Katie - it is normal to feel so flat and sad when you've attended a funeral. It is a time of reflection and hopefully in time your sadness will turn to smiles whenever you think about your friend.
Flat as a tack is how I describe it, can't get out of your own way to save yourself as you feel all so consumed by everything that this Breast Cancer journey has thrown up.
For you personally you are heading for your last infusion of Herceptin and that in itself deserves a Yay! Feeling tired, flat, weary is understandable. Don't be hard on yourself!
Work; another life! Life as we knew it changes when we are diagnosed. Work is a means to an end. Something we do for a result. Life changes with diagnosis and our focus changes but as you come out of active treatment you may find your energy and enthusiasm return for your work.
Take care
