thank you. I appreciate your reply. it's helpful to know my feelings are normal. as silly as that sounds. I'm not a patient person and I definitely don't handle the unknown well. I'm the kid who searched the house high and low, unwrapped all the presents and rewrapped them at Christmas. hahahaha

Hi @michelle74,
It doesn’t sound silly at all! When coping with any health setback, we tend to forget that it takes a toll not only on the body, but also our emotions and state of mind – and more often than not, the way we feel mentally, can play a huge role in the recovery process. I came across this great Mayo Clinic page about "Cancer survivors: Managing your emotions after cancer treatment” https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/cancer-survivor/art-20047129
Take a look, I’d really like to hear back from you.
