Hi Hopecalm, love the name! I think it is normal to be envious of those whose lives haven't been turned upside down by cancer. We are only human! I have been diagnosed with early breast cancer, have had surgery and reconstruction and now have just completed 15 sessions of radiotherapy. My prognosis should now be good but the doubt and worry of return is likely to be there in the background. All we can do is allow ourselves time to recover and work towards return to as near a life as normal. This takes time and effort as I am now discovering. Breast cancer rates are high and I guess we have to count ourselves lucky that we have able to have treatment and the chance to reduce future risk of return. Hope you do well and that life improves for you.
