@kevachanel38 I feel you are so right that people who have not experienced this don’t understand what you are going through. I have been greatly served by an oncology social worker provided at my treatment hospital. We have telehealth visits every 10 days. She has helped me understand that all of my feelings and fears are “normal” given a cancer diagnosis. And this platform, as well as Gilda’s club, has been extraordinarily supportive and helpful.

I have come to my own way of seeing that there is no “going back” to where I was before a cancer diagnosis. But there is forward.
