I agree with the comments above, very wise words.
I wanted to add that I feel my brain was not working well through my treatment and what I thought wasn't necessarily right. Nothing was much fun, in fact even now I rarely laugh out loud. Tiredness and boredom are an awful combination.
The changes in our bodies take some getting used to. I am already pretty tired of managing arm and breast lympodema I can tell you.
Art is a great idea. Quilting which is my passion has helped me tremendously.
Also men are often not as good as women at expressing their feelings. Your man may be reeling from the worry and responsibility of caring for you. If he is still with you, that is a good sign he cares about you.
Good luck with the future.
