This bit isn't fun either
Everyone around me expects me to be party central three weeks after finishing treatment. I thought I'd be happy too.

@K_LeeB ... well done on completing your treatment - I hope you managed to have a celebration to mark the ocassion.
Yes, sadly a lot of folk think that it is all over when the treatment 'stops' - but it doesn't really stop for at least another 5 years (if you are on Hormone Suppressing Tablets) ..... It's been such a treadmill since detection, it is tricky to step off it & try & get back to 'normal life' .... but it WILL come to a time when you revert back to 'relatively normal' - it just takes time.
Try & keep busy - get back into your hobbies or maybe even start some new hobbies! You may even make lots of new friends, as there is the distinct possibility that some of your old friends may 'fall by the wayside' as they DON'T really understand what you've been thru. :( And our Bullshit Meters are usually a bit 'lower' than before - I don't put up with that trivial crap anymore .....
Do what is right for you xxx. You know best xx. take care
