It's natural for people to take special care of and interest in loved ones who are unwell and facing great uncertainty. It's equally natural for that high level of attention to go back to whatever was normal before when the danger seems to have been faced and overcome. And not very pleasant for for the one who feels lost and abandoned at that stage. I didn't have that experience myself, but with some lifelong side effects I did feel a bit confused about how my life was going to pan out after treatment. It took a few sessions with a good counsellor to reach the apparently simple answer - you didn't go through all this to be sad or to lose control of your life. My sessions with her weren't many or expensive but talking to a stranger is a wonderful way of cutting to the essence of what is wrong and how to make it right. I hope you too can get some help to feel good again. We don't hesitate to see a doctor about our body and our emotional wellbeing is every bit as important. Best wishes.
