@kmakm probably didn’t explain it too well .I have 3 kids and a husband and whilst I know life goes on I thought it had ended for me.I felt lost when the flurry of treatment ended and I was expected to resume life as normal .My family believed I was cured and that I was still supermum - the latter partially created at least by myself.In despair I rang the Cancer Council who organised Cancer Connect within 3 days - the tinkling Irish lilt of a woman in Maroochydore who had been through the same as me years ago and was enjoying her life was a lifesaver at a very low point.On top of which a couple of friends nudged me to seek others going through the same which I did - here on this blog and a local support group. I also joined a local exercise group and started walking. So gradually I started to get my life back but not without stumbles when my body would change in an unfamiliar way or family hassles occurred.I guess I will continue to have the occasional stumble .I know I am not alone , that I do have a life and life is good.
