@Spillsy, I hear you! I only stopped treatment (radiation) in August 2019 and the specialist appts in December 2019. I am still navigating my way in this new world, I feel lost sometimes and like a misfit.
At the end of treatment, I felt so different to the old me that I was sure I was losing my mind, I kept withdrawing and was introverted for the first time in my life I think! Frankly it was scary.
I lost a few friends along this path - not bothered, gained a few new ones from Breast Clinic - awesome ladies, so grateful to have found them.
I have taken the advice from the previous posters about concentrating on my diet, I lost 14 kgs during treatment and everyone keeps negatively commenting but Im just eating better and less, would like to put on a couple of kilo especially on my skinny legs lol but maybe later.
I cherish the good days or moments when I feel like a normal person and some days they just aren't there. I put myself first a lot now which took a bit of getting used to.
I think it will be a slow process, I still slide down into dark places but with the help of a great pyschologist and the ladies on this forum, I feel much more at peace and seem to get through those times better.
I hope things pick up for you soon, know that we are all cheering you on xx
