Hi @SharonP,
Glad you decided to join us. Welcome lovley.
The wave of emotions that hit after the treatment takes most of us by surprise and you're not even done with treatment yet. Rest assured that it is very normal and takes a bit of time to work through.
Everybody responds differently but there is definitely a lot of commonalities. You're so busy getting through the treatment phase then out of the blue this stuff hits and you don't know quite why or what to do with it.
Personally, I couldn't wait to get back to work just for the normallity of it all. But I do only work a couple of days a week outside of home. The mundane conversations at work will possibly annoy you for a while but that will pass. Maybe it's a little soon to go back full time especially with rads coming up.
Listen to yourself, if it's too much then it's too much and there is nothing wrong with that right now. You have to do what's best for you. It does get better but just know that's its normal for a while and we are all her if you need a shoulder to cry on or vent to. We get it.
