Good prognosis guilt.

Had an early diagnosis, surgery and now radiotherapy. Feel extremely fortunate that I have a very good prognosis but have perhaps played down to family, friends and colleagues that I am still dealing with cancer and how that makes me feel deep down. I feel guilty for feeling sorry for myself as so many people are going through far worse with less support. Today am feeling particularly emotional, unsure why. Anyone else had similar feelings? 

Thanks and apologies to those facing a bigger battle.

    I'm due back next week. Radiotherapy finished this Tuesday and I originally said I should be back Thursday (totally naive). Pain is not too bad but just the tiredness, Letrozole has kicked menopause symptoms off again particularly hot flushes during the night, which doesn't help. I'm hoping having to get up and about will help.
