Hi Michelle,
How happy you must be? The feeling of being "finished" feels so good. Just knowing you "made it" through it all gives a person much to be thankful for.
The "waiting for the other shoe to drop" feeling is normal. Unfortunately, very normal. We all kind of feel like..........." well it happened to me once, why wouldn't it happen to me again......" unfortunately, that thinking is normal too as we leave treatment behind us.
I'll never forget while I was going through treatment that my onc. told me that going through treatment was the easy part and leaving treatment behind and learning to live with a cancer diagnosis was the hard part. Of course I thought she was nuts when she told me that (I was in the middle of treatment) but she was right (she was a cancer survivor also - so she "got it").
As Kelly said "soon you'll be counting anniversaries" and yes, you will learn to live with this diagnosis. As you are planning on doing................enjoy your summer with your kids!!!!!!!!!!!! It's your "NOW" time. Wake up each day with a thankful heart and live each day to the fullest. Make each moment count - love others and live, live, live.............................................. .....
Love to you and I'm so happy for you,
Mary Jo
