Hi Marsh 317
Thw feelings you describe are perfectly normal. When we are given a cancer diagnosis once we are over the initial shock , we go into fight mode. We get through the treatment , then we are told we are clear of cancer( if we are lucky). Then comes the reality- we have to face the implications of having had cancer. In many ways our lives won’t be the same. We will constantly be on the look out for signs of a return. I think you are going through an inevitable stage of grief for how life was before. You will get over it. Things will get better. Be kind to yourself. Hugs from Happyflower xx
