Trying to move on

Hey  

Well done getting through the treatment!!

It does get better. Life slowly takes over again. Occasional lapses into fear are quite normal, but they will get further apart with time.

Hi Sam,

Good to hear you're busy and back at work.  Probably normal to have day's when we worry or a meltdown when you think of everything you have been through. Keep being busy and enjoying life and tell the fears to go and do one xxxx

Where on god's planet did those months go???

Big congrats for getting there

Even bigger for a return to work

But so hope they have a good plan in place for you

One more step along the world you go

Thanks everyone I know it’s gone so fast,and thanks for all your help while going through treatment x

HI Scaredgirl

I think we must have been diagnosed roughly at the same time with near enough the same diagnosis.   I have had the same treatment as you.  Finished radiotherapy  25 April - Herceptin injections until the end of September.  I too have gone back to work and there are quite a few days where I feel really good but some days I sit and worry, hoping that those days will get easier. Today is the first day that I am going to do a bit of retail therapy on my own!!!! Mum and son at a show (my mum does craft fayres son is back from Uni so is helping out) Husband is out for a part of the day so I thought I will have a day where I can do this on my own (previously husband/mum has come with me).  Hair is growing back quite well so that is another positive.  I look back and think did I really go through all of that treatment seems to have gone very quickly but we have done it! Sending you all be the best for the future and to everyone elsexxxx

Morning Sam  /   

You have been stumbling over so many hurdles for nearly a year it is only natural to have wobbles now and again :(

What helped us get our heads around it all was reading a paper by Dr Peter Harvey titled

'After The Treatment Finishes: Then What ?'  I'll place it at the bottom of this hopefully it will help you too :)

It starts off a bit slow, but you soon start thinking 'this is me too'

It will soon be December, plan something nice as a reward, G n' J

Dreamthief, thank you for sharing that link what a fabulous paper. I am not at that stage yet having only just had surgery but it still made sense and I have saved it and will read again once i'm out the other end of this.

As it's over 4 years since you posted this link you might not see my reply but I just wanted to say thank you. I am struggling to move on and this paper made so much sense and I now know that all of my feelings are normal and that I'm not alone in thinking the way that I am right now. Hopefully this will help so many of us following Breast Cancer treatment. Thank you again

Hiya I'm so pleased you found this post and the link, it's such a good paper to read, and it's so enlightening to read these words that resonate with my feelings at the moment. 

Thank you so much xx
