@bdpp- Oh my word life just doesn't give us what we expect or want a lot of the time. I'm a lung cancer survivor of 22+ years and every time I get another lesion I feel this way too. PTSD is so different for everyone. I'll attach my blog post about mine. PTSD is a lot of depression and anger. I'm so so happy that your PET scan came back clean and that you want to get going. Your anger and tears might just be a delayed reaction to your last cancer. I've had 2 surgeries and after the last one I became more and more depressed and eventually house bound from depression. So go get on the road and have fun now, style your new hair in a spunky style and go for it! I firmly believe that being active can be more beneficial than anything. So when do you hit the road?

Powerful blog!!
I see myself in some of your journey, similar feelings, similar frustrations.
Not at your darkest, but definitely hissing at those closest to me. Great description, I will see a spitting cat for now on.

On the day we found out I had 5 new melanoma tumors, we upgraded the convertible. Had a good cry, then literally went and drove cars. Added more space, red interior. Several trips planned. Our love for music has us jumping states to see musicians we adore, and we are returning to the ABQ Balloon Fiesta in October.
Thank you for asking.
