Yes, once you're through the difficult treatments, you'll just see the medical stuff, maintenance meds, side effects, as the new normal. You're going through the hardest stage, with all the anticipation right before surgery and treatments. At that stage, I felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day living the same day over and over and just wanting to move on. You will be on the other side of it all soon and life will go on. Now, I just see all the time spent on medical stuff like a job and just enjoy life with the rest of my time. I had a double mastectomy in 2013, recurrent breast cancer in 2020 with surgery, 37 radiation treatments, and now Kisqali and Letrozole for 4 years and indefinitely. Life goes on and I enjoy every day and don't feel stressed or depressed by the cancer. I even have a second unrelated slow-growing cancer and treatment has relieved symptoms so I'm thankful for treatment. Things will get better for sure and any meds or follow-up will just be the new normal like any other medical issue. Blessings to you, Zebra
