Each step at a time....

Hello all,

Im new to this forum and have enjoyed reading other people stories. I recently gained remission from being diganosed with cancer last year. I am back to working full time, i have my life back in my home and look forward to a holiday in November and to have christimas in my new home.

However, i have to confess i am struggling slightly. I find the experiences i have gone through with fighting cancer, very overwhelming and because i dont have to go through treatment anymore, i feel life has moved on but i cant. I do have a lot of positives in my life, and i do try to focus on these, but i cant help feeling lonely, confused and just a little depressed i guess.

So i just wanted to see if others felt the same way as i do? If so, what things and thoughts do you struggle with? i'd like to read your stories.

Thank you all xx

    What a wonderful outcome. You are in a position every person with cancer including me and you would wish for. After all the intense treatment, putting all your energy into a single focus in life (to get better) you have reached your goal. Back to work, a holiday, looking forward to Christmas, it couldn't get better. But there is still something missing! So What next? Try to set yourself up a new difficult to reach goal, something really challenging. Change your job, take up a thrilling sport, buy a fast motorbike, you have nothing to lose. Without your successful treatment you would not be here now. So do something with that precious gift of life you have been given. Kim
