Lee, thank you for posting that. I will share it with my husband, the problem solver!
This "new normal" is a big adjustment for everyone involved, isn't it? I am still trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life now that it has been so changed. I felt "on hold" for so long.
My oncologist said these reactions are normal because we are kept so busy and focused during treatment that there can be a real sense of being lost when it ends. Adrift.
Anyway, I am grateful we have come out on the other side. Thanks again for sharing. Keep the faith.
