Re: I'm all done - why depressed?
I felt the same way. Its another transition we have to go through. I was so mad at how all my appts etc were interfering with my life and then when they are gone I am like.. wait what about me. It feels like it has taken almost a year for me to get used to the new life without treatments and appts. Getting over the fear of not being watched so closely. Its part of our journey that seems to never end.
