Well I've chosen to believe I'm cured or NED...rather than remission. ..which means you still have cancer but it's not active....unless of course you have metastatic bc.
However that's me.
Oh it's hard to pick up our life threads. I think in some ways it must be like the returned soldier. Imagine just coming home and returning to normal life. We are only now beginning to understand how difficult that is. BC survival is a battle. We are the mentally wounded soldiers...and just like them finding a new focus helps.
I found supporting other women with bc diagnosis helped me. You could consider this forum or joining local groups or fundraising groups.
I also focussed on my weight reduction so I am a member of a private group of women who support each other and share our struggles regaining our health.
Shifting your focus brings purpose back and then suddenly one day ...you realise you think of yourself as a SURVIVOR. Because once we believe....well...we've got our life back again.
