Re: Finished - Now What?
Huge congrats and yes, its very normal to have these feelings at this time and I did too, its like once the physical treatments were finished my body then allowed my emotions to come to the surface so I then had to try to deal with them and find a way forward post cancer.
I think more studies are being done now on offering people emotional help through this as well as treating the body which I think is badly needed. It does get easier the longer out you are and you will gain confidence but its tough in the early days and looking back I think chemo was the easy part!
