Savta,-

I really understand how you feel!! In a way- when all treatment is over,- another struggle is starting...: how to get back to the normal life, how to enjoy things, long for things - it is all gone,- and it is really scary.
When having the chemo, you have a date to look forward to,- the day you finish the treatment - that day you long for.
But now - you are one your own with a fear of the future - not at all the joy you were looking forward to.
I was really depressed after treatment was finished. Had no joy, only fear.
But - it is much better now, so the feeling will pass I think!
As for the cancer treatment - it should NOT stop with the medical treatment. Most of us need some psycological help as well. That is my opinion, anyway.
Good luck with all your thoughts...
