When treatment ends, it's like crossing the finish line of a marathon with a flood of emotions. For me, I felt an amazing sense of relief, gratitude and happiness. I experienced a feeling of joy that I believed would never leave me......but it did......
I dodged the many calls, texts, emails and messaging through social media. I didn’t want to talk about me, cancer and anything in between. I drifted into avoidance and depression. My life as I knew it was spinning out of control. People reached out and I ran the other way. I didn’t want pity or to deal with others emotions and I certainly didn’t want to tell my horrific story over and over again.
