That's great news that you've completed all your treatment for DCIS and that you no longer need to take any medication.
I think that we expect that everything will go back to how it was before our diagnosis. There's probably a very small minority who do just shrug everything off and go back to their lives as if nothing happened but for the majority of us we have to learn with the 'new normal'.
You've been through a lot and it will take you a while to accept that things won't be exactly the same as before. There is an excellent article that you might like to take a look at called After the Treatment Finishes - Then What? Clicking on the link I've created will take you to it.
You might also want to join the life after cancer group where you can discuss things like the physical and emotional after effects of cancer, returning to work, or trying to move on with your life. Again the link I've created will take you there if you think you'd like to join.
