Hello

Hi Scottie79 and welcome to the forum. Sorry you find yourself here, the cancer club is one we’d never choose to join! But this site is a great place for support and shared experiences. It must be as I’ve been rattling around it for over 7 years! 

Yes your feelings are very common I think. I have definitely found many stages of my cancer experience overwhelming. And I think it’s very often when the ‘active’ treatment finishes (like you my active treatment was surgery and radiotherapy), and we then have to contemplate years on hormone therapy. I was older and very definitely post menopausal so I had Anastrozole. I was very grateful to escape chemo and am still very grateful to be ‘well’ but I’d so much rather not have got cancer in the first place. None of the treatments are ‘easy’ , nor is the experience of being diagnosed with a life changing condition. But….. I’m still here and living a good life! 

There’s an article which is well worth a read: After the Treatment Finishes by Dr Peter Harvey (not sure if the title is correct but hopefully near enough). I can’t post links but if you do a search it should come up. 

I’ve also found it really helpful being in touch with others who’ve had cancer. Is there a Maggie’s centre near you? Future Dreams in London is a wonderful place , for anyone affected by breast cancer. I have been there for a few sessions as it’s about an hour away but they do online stuff too if you’re far away. 
Sending love and a big virtual hug, sorry for the long ramble!! HFxx
