Hi @MelissaD as everyone else has said what you are feeling is all quite normal. I had plans on travel with my husband when I found my cancer. He desperately wanted me to make future plans on where to go what to do once treatment over. I honestly couldn't do that. I couldn't see past each week by the end. I was mentally and physically exhausted. But a few weeks after chemo finished I started to look at life beyond cancer. Life as a survivor. However long that is. I think it's okay to acknowledge those emotions, those fears and just downright feeling miserable. Things I did...I went out when I was well. Meeting friends for coffee or lunch. I'd go to the heated pool and just walk and talk with someone. It might have taken me ages to get myself together enough to do it but I did. The colouring books are great if you like that. I got into netflex series as daytime TV sent me homicidal. A journal is great too.
It does get better. I now think of my treatment as "life interupted" a good way to put treatment in perspective. ..but it has taken me quite a while to get there.
Take care. Kath x
