Hi Hilts 

Sorry to hear about your husband and glad he is disease free.

I finished chemo and radiotherapy only a couple of months ago so maybe my perspective is still quite current but I would say everything changes once you have been told you have cancer.In some ways its like post traumatic stress.

I feel like I am not the same person anymore.Nothing is going to slot back into the old life , however long you wait for an adjustment.

I have found new hobbies and friends , still have some of the old friends but don't feel as close to them as I am not the same person I used to be.They maybe identified me by my job (I had my own sucsessful business) I now feel like a square peg trying to fit into round holes which were my life before.

Sorry if this sounds quite negative , there are some positive outcomes , I please myself more and don't stress the small things.

I guess what I'm saying is don't think of this as a temporary state, this is life now and given a second chance we have to embrace each day and hope it will be a good one x

Same I finished chemotherapy July 6th.  Finished radiotherapy this week. Now what still worn out I don't feel like me any more x

It's so hard to deal with the emotional impact , good luck xxx
