Emotional aftermath following breast cancer treatment

My heart goes out to you! I pray God will give you strength to get through this tough time. Sometimes I wish we could all get together for a cup of coffee, share our feelings, and support one another in person. Most people don't know what it feels like to get the cancer dx. They wonder why we still are not emotionally over it when all the treatments are done. Hugs.

We kind of are getting together for coffee, right here on connect. I kind of wander from table to table (conversations), but this feels like when I used to go to the tea parties. We all sat around sharing all the things we have in common and things we don’t, other people join our table then wander off to another table to join a different conversation. So brew a cup and get comfy, we are all here to be that girlfriend across the table.
I am 20 years from my original diagnosis and I can’t say I have ever really just moved past it, I have a “new normal” and life never just returned to the way it was.
How can we make this new life stable, for me it is gratitude, for life, for all of you, for my home, and my remaining abilities.
Please share ways that help you move forward each day, can you share your resilience tips?
Still trying to find the new me again. Since I have been stable since my last Enhertu treatment in July 2023, my Oncologist and Oncology Cardiologist think I should hold off on taking Lapatinib and Xeloda. My tumor markers ca 27.29 ca 13.5 are very low and CT & NBM scan show no progression.

Yes indeed. I tell people that have not been through treatment for this heinous beast is: “you’re not going through what I’m going through.” And they shut up telling me what I should do and how I should feel.
