I was begining to think that maybe it was some personal inadequacy that I hadn&#39;t bounced back by now!</p> <p>No, my experiences do not dominate my thinking, but I suppose we all need time to process what has happened.</p> <p>Thanks.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=251997&AppID=22340&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bea/posts/getting-back-to-normal2009-09-18T20:28:00Z2009-09-18T20:28:00Z<p>How many times are people going to ask me if I am &#39;back to normal&#39; yet?</p> <p>If they mean am I back to being the old me, that&#39;s obviously silly as having cancer and treatment has changed one&#39;s body and outlook.</p> <p>How does one get the old perspective back eg. assuming one was going to be enjoying getting a bus pass and maybe even becoming a Granny. </p> <p>You can&#39;t even look at your medical exemption card and wonder if you can outlive it. </p> <p>Perhaps they mean have I recovered my sense of humour. If so the answer is maybe.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=251515&AppID=22340&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
