Treatment is over. Where did 'normal me' go?
I remember at the beginning of all this, when I was undoubtedly stronger and determined to fight and determined to be proactive in my treatment every step of the way, writing down a list of questions...

Hi Nadi,
I had chemo then radiation, my last radiation was end February,I remember my radiation oncologist saying you will get very fatigued after first 10 sessions,I had 30. I never realized that being tiered and fatigued are totally different. My gosh I was not able to function after round 15,now 4 months later I'm going to yoga once a week and walking twice week for a hour.Some days I need a Nanna nap other days I'm good. I get very frustrated that I cant do more.Your body will recover, sounds like you still have a lot going on.
If you need to cry then do, I stood on beach once and just started screaming people thought I was mad,this bald headed lady screaming and crying but gosh made me feel better.
Nadi organise a massage,facial your nails done what every makes you feel like the beautiful women you are.Give yourself time out to recover,(my children would laugh reading this and say you should practice what you preach mother.)
Good luck and one day we will all look back and remember these days and will smile and say I made it, I beat cancer.
