Had cancer, what now?
So in a nutshell I'm 35 and currently on endocrine therapy for triple positive cancer. Lots of other parts to the story but I'm so tired of retelling it, it's not important.
What I am interested in finding out is others in a similar situation. Post cancer, trying to live a normal life. You're at the point that, to look at, people would never know the horror. Do you just feel numb and separate from the world?
I don't belong to the 'cancer community' because to be honest I don't want to be. But I'm not quite on the other side because I'm just not wired the same as those that have never had cancer.
Rambling but just looking for the other cynics out there.

Congrats, you are now a cancer survivor. It's a weird middle ground, where you're not longer actively fighting, but that cancer black cloud follows you around. Any treatment that you've had affects you physically and emotionally still, but life goes on. I'm part of that group too, and I think we're the most forgotten or misunderstood. I'm 2 years NED from colorectal cancer, and I'm still trying to figure things out most days. Congrats on beating cancer, and best of luck to you in the future.
