Hi there
A pathologist once referred to my adventure. At the time, I felt like hitting him. With time, I realised he was right. Not all adventures are fun.

You are possibly in that middle space, wanting what used to be, unhappy with what is, not ready for what will be. It's a hard place to be.
Cancer is a very steep learning curve about embracing what is and looking for the best that can be. Talking to your counsellor is a good start. You are protecting yourself, because you have learned you are vulnerable. Now you have to learn that risk is part of life, and to accept it rather than fear it. It's hard, have patience with yourself. And enjoy things, do one thing that makes you happy or laugh every day. Practice happiness.
good luck.
