Post-active treatment fatigue
I treated myself to a sleeping pill last night, went to bed early (for me), didn't have to get up for anything this morning, and so had 10 hours sleep. Woke up three times, but nonetheless it was fab....

@kmakm I think your husband is a lucky man to be married to such a strong, resilient women like you. Yes, you may be "different" than before but your heart & soul are still the same & that is why he married you & what he would love about you. It is hard to come to terms with the "new" us & many find it hard to accept the new Version 2. Dr Tottman herself was diagnosed with BC & to hear her speak about how she helps others with their torment & then to hear her story about her battle, was quite incredible. Here is a women that truly knows what we are going through as she is & has gone through it & has faced many a battle. That made what she said at the conference even more powerful as she is living proof that you can get over to the other side with the right help & mind-set. Be kind to yourself my dear & dont rush it. Know it is OK to feel shit & grief & resentment but also realise the strength you have & how you have helped so many of us on this forum. If we dont pick out some positives in this whole process, then we will all go MAD!!
I am doing great, thanks & i always considered myself to be one of the lucky ones as my diagnosis/treatment was so much easier than most of you. I am working, exercising (too much!) & for me, life is the same as it was before apart from a little scar under my boob. I am on no medication so its just a yearly mammo plus a few extra routine blood/health checks that have had to be added to the list.
We are all here for you & if i were you, I'd make regular visits to that new yoga centre for a stint in that super dooper massage chair!! take care xx
