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 Kathyjane, boy do I hear you! Not knowing what is going to happen is scary and i apologise for maybe freaking you out, but we all get through it even when we think we're not. I so needed a rant last week as everything seemed to crash down on me. I just needed to get it out. But I am also reminded that many women have complete opposite experiences to me. They get through just fine, they continue to work and all is good. What I didn't put in my post was that I am also caring for elderly parents who are in a bad way at the moment. They have no other family close by. My dad has Alzheimers and that disease is just terrible to deal with. It is really taking a toll on me. Last night he went missing in the dark when it was 2 degrees outside. We found him but the panic and stress I couldn't help but feel was unbelievable. Things are better today.
You are going through a lot at the moment. It's a whirlwind at the beginning. Take the 6 weeks you have to have off when you can't drive and use that time to concentrate on you.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care
