Hi there
I have been lurking rather than posting most of the time. It is good to hear that you are up to your 2nd year from treatment. I fully understand about the emotional side after cancer. Tomorrow will be one year from the start of chemo for me so I have begun to feel the emotions welling up inside me again. Ihad been really teary over August with anniversary of being told I had tnbc. It does feel really like yesterday that I had the treatment.
I was told by a good friend of mine to let your self grieve for the part you lost. She had also gone through tnbc and it helped me. I've kind of had to deal with the emotions on my own as I had to move away from Family and close friends I had during cancer to other side of the world for work. So it ihad been really important to me to touch base with everyone regularly.
When I feel really emotional I go for a walk or go to the gym. Surprisingly it has helped me become more healthy. I have also learnt to take more time for myself and regroup when I have to. If that meant I was late with a report by a day be it. Been lucky with understanding bosses who know my situation.
Hope this made sense.
Been really lucky with good friends around me who listen to my long rants and emotional roller coasters.
Take care
