I completed 16 rounds (over 5 months) of chemotherapy on 12th November.
Last Tuesday, 9 weeks later, I was in the shower, I had music playing and was singing along. I got a strange feeling, I had to pause and think about it. I then realised that the feeling was joy.
Despite the fact that my treatment is not finished yet, that it has not gone the way that I'd hoped and I'm still experiencing side effects. I somehow feel lighter.
I have not felt light for a long time, perhaps since last January when I received my mammogram recall letter.
I don't even know how I got here. Except to say that I have made efforts to not suppress any of my feelings. It has not been easy, cause even though there have been moments of joy and delight; I have mostly felt angry, sad and scared for the past year. Not pretty emotions.
So, now I'm left wondering, have I officially entered 'Life After Chemotherapy? '
Gosh! I'm getting another feeling... Could it be excitement?
