Thank you for your replies about 'normal'

It was really helpful to read your comments. I was begining to think that maybe it was some personal inadequacy that I hadn't bounced back by now!

No, my experiences do not dominate my thinking, but I suppose we all need time to process what has happened.

Thanks.

    None of us feel "normal" while we are going through cancer and the devastating side effects of treatment, but a positive mental attitude and loving friends and family are a great help. Take care x

    I totally agree, with what you said susanna, my family and friends are my greatest help whilst I'm going through this treatment.

    If  I'm down they are there to make me laugh and  we have had many with me being bald now, they are there to hug me when I'm down.

    But we will get through it all together.

    Love
