It was so hard to go to my first treatment back on August 5, 2011...but going to my 18th and last treatment (for now) on January 6, 2012, was somehow a relief but terrifying. I have been done treatment for 6 weeks and planned to return to work after only a 5 week break, but wisely listened to my onc and onc nurse. Then I thought I'd be ready by mid-March. Now, not only have I realized that I need more time to recover and get past the fatigue and neuropathy, but also to deal with living with cancer. Being stage 4, stable is a good thing but I had so hoped for remission and now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to "live" with cancer?! I'm taking my Tamoxifen and my Clasteon but the fear and anxiety are ever present. Does anyone out there have any advice regarding how long I'll feel like this? I know that I won't feel normal ever again but the fear is more dibilitating than the fatigue.
