Where to?
I am 3 years and 3 months post diagnosis and I am still struggling to find my way out of this nightmare. I have some good days, but mostly days with fear as my constant companion. I function ok, ho...

Leonie,I think we are on a similar spot on the conveyor belt.We've copped a double dose of b cancer and just getting through with chemo.Last year it was soooo important for my recovery to go back to work and normality.However,I now feel differently,one year on from diagnosis.My husband is older and retired on good super 3 years ago.I'll be 56 next month and have decided to quit my job of 15yrs. I want to spend fun time now with my husband and study things that interest me,travel and volunteer.I have sold our large home of 22yrs and will downsize to a single level one in August.These are all fairly radical changes but I feel a compelling need to do so.I think a little voice inside you begins to niggle away.If you listen to your "heart"then often pathways appear clearer.This is how it has happened for me in the last 6mths.We are all at different stages in life(and cancer) and sometimes we crave normality/routine and other times we want change.Roz,maybe you need to make changes- be patient and a path will open up.I give myself a little self talk when I feel "cancer scared"- 'well you got over it didn't you.You are stronger than you realize. There are actually worse things that can happen to you.You are so lucky to have a loving husband and healthy kids.' Ok so this helps for awhile until the next time!
