Hesitation around good news

Hmmm. Good news indeed but I can empathise all too easily. 

I completed RT nearly 7 months ago but I feel a totally new attitude to life. Whilst before all this I felt I was immortal I now feel time is passing all too quickly - and lockdown isn't helping.

Maybe I will start looking forward to things again soon but at the moment I feel I am just treading wstervsnd time is passing.

As with you I wonder if others have gone through similar.

All the best anyway.

Hi Angus 

I think that these  thoughts r quite normal after treatment finishes, I know I that I did suffer a lot, mainly anxiety, after RT.

It does get better over time and yes, the constant worry of PSa tests does not help.

You've been thru a lot, give yourself time, I'm sure u  will feel better soon 

Best wishes

Steve

Sreve's right, you've been through a lot and it takes time to adjust. Everything seems raw at first, many of us don't feel there's anything at all to celebrate but given time you'll adjust and the worst feelings should fade. Getting through the first PSA tests successfully will help you to adapt too.

All the best, Derek.

I know how you feel. The word "remission" has a weird ring to it.

But i agree with others; you get used to it, and life goes on. In time, your enjoyment of living will overtake the apprehension. The trick is to get the perfect balance between enjoying life to the full while remaining that little bit alert for any warning signs your body chirps up with.

Remission is never cure. But I'll take it, thanks!
