I had breast cancer in 2019. It rocked my world, off its axis. Have never been the same person since. Blessed to have survived. Blessed to have managed to have found the strength to keep going, just about. Decided to retire early and seek a new path. That begins tomorrow and it feels incredibly liberating!
Hi NewMe and welcome to the community. I wish you all the very best as you open this new chapter of your life and let’s look for this to be much more amazing than you can imagine.
My retirement at 55 was rather different as I retired to basically become a ‘professional’ NHS patient…… but 12 years and having complete a shed load of treatment I am still in remission from my incurable cancer a living a great life….. so yes, anew life can happen.
You may want to have a look at our Life after cancer group as well as here are lots of stories of how members have navigated the post treatment life - enjoy your first day of freedom.
