Dear @ kmakm it started a bit rough but I came through ok and I am hoping you will too. You’ve had the stuffing knocked out of you but had no time to think .With active treatment ending you are hitting the wall. It is a scarey time as the future opens up and you are out on your own again but that is why bc support groups are so important at this point plus if you want it maybe counselling to support you through this rough patch.
It is hard getting back into your life before all this as your confidence is low and you are not the same.Maggie T wrote once about no matter how she feels she makes the effort - if you practice your former life doing as much as you are able to do it will come back.I was scared to walk fearing I’d die and had my husband walk the same route leaving later initially to “pick up the body”. Seriously . And I’d approach things with an intensity I did not have formerly - the Encore program showed me I was not alone as it took weeks for newbies to unwind whilst old hands just enjoyed themselves.
Get some of that sparkle back by practising some of what you did before. Maybe you will tire a bit easily for a while and take things a bit more seriously at times but life is still good and so are you.It will ease with time with the occasional blips of fear emerging when 6 monthly checks occur but whilst formerly the medical flurry made you feel safe , now living life will.All the positive pats you formerly received from others will put Humpty back together - that is why making yourself get out there is important even if you don’t feel like it.
You are a lucky lady having the support of a good loving man - talk to him about how you feel and allow him to be the wind beneath your wings whilst you teeter a bit learning to fly again. XO
