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.

Hi I just passed the 12 month anniversary of completion of my “active “ treatment ( radiotherapy) although I am now on Letrazole for at least 5 years.
I had a big cry session on the actual anniversary day because of course you never really return to “ normal” after a BC diagnosis.
People who haven’t been there can never really get that no matter how well meaning they may be.
There will always be grief at the loss of your former “ bulletproof” self.
But I have tried to look on the bright side of things - I had excellent Doctors and a good prognosis and life is otherwise pretty good.
