hi @"Holly Prevails"
it is quite common for us to feel that way.... I did like several others I have seen a psychologist and she has helped me through the trauma of going through chemo etc .... I also found being part of a local support group has helped as I see ladies who are 15, 30 and 40 yrs from diagnosis and that gives me hope. I now 5 + years later call myself a survivor... survivor-ship is hard like primek I am involved in a group that supports others who have had bc and are now reclaiming their lives... be that with weight management or resuming exercise and healthy self care choices...
People who have not gone through BC diagnosis assume that when our treatment is over we are back to our old self.... we all know that is not the case....it takes time...
How long is it since you finished treatment?
is it relatively recent?
If you are in NSW Cancer Council has the Enrich program for anyone who has had cancer....
Encore is available in most states of Australia
Ringing the Helpline at BCNA is an option also
