Sorry so rude of me, I hope everyone is doing well

Hi, sorry to say it but, yes, it is perfectly normal to struggle with getting back into your old routine once treatment has finished. Work, relationships and life in general are all affected by what you have been through and it takes time to settle into the new you afterwards. I am currently on a Moving Forward course run by Breast Cancer Care which explores exactly these issues. It is aimed at people who have just finished treatment and deals with all aspects of the physical and emotional impact cancer has, and is still having. Like you, I am frustrated at not being able to bounce back as quickly as I thought I would or should have but am (slowly!) learning to accept that it will take time. Not very comforting I know but I think most poeple struggle with this so you are not alone..  Take care  Sue xx

Morning Sue

I am really struggling. Trying though and will keep putting best foot forward. Thank you for your input it's great to know some people understand and get where you coming from, it's very lonely out there in this world.

I m feeling just the same as you are JB. I feel so lonely too. My husband has been wonderful all the way through but he doesnt understand how I m feeling. It's as if it never happened and that everything should be normal again. It's very hard we ll have to keep in touch x

Morning Kimw

Woke up early today actually feeling fairly cheerful despite the fact I've just been made redundant. Wow it never ends hey!!! You right though not many people understand and it's hard to even try explain.  So glad your husband has been wonderful at least you got that guess we have to just learn to accept and adjust.  Maybe with a bit of luck finding another job it will be a new clean slate? 

Have a great day Hun let's keep smiling no matter what xx

Wow your up early lol. I m off to work in  a bit that's y I m up too. Hope you have a better day today try and keep yourself busy I find I feel worse when I m at home bored with noone to talk to. That's when I start to think about things and I even know in my head I need to stop. The fact you ve woken up positive is a good start and you ve already helped me so we re on the way now to a better recovery. So glad I ve had you to chat to cos I m feeling more positive too x thank you x

Ahhh im ready to head to work too, I agree being at work amongst people/friends helps a lot! Feeling really good after this chat too onwards and upwards let's go and enjoy the day!

Thank you too x

I also - on reflection, compared redundancy to cancer ..... Needless to say there's no comparison lol
