My life no longer consists of work and the mundance chores that I used to complain about. My life revolves around chemo and bloodwork and scans and doctor appointments like everyone else going through this. I just wish I could have a day off... a fantasy day where I don't have to think about having cancer.

Getting chemo today and trying to get out of my funk today. I talked with the patient coordinator today and told her how I ran into the owner of the hotel that I used to manage. I think that triggered my feeling of loss of my "old life", it reminded me that nothing will be the same again.
I'm going to set up a meeting with the social worker/therapist at the cancer center to help me deal with the feelings that I have.
I'm so glad I found this forum, you are the best cheerleaders and support team!

That so funny you are setting up a meeting with the counselor. I just emailed my oncologist last week about talking to a oncology counselor. Even though I am finished with treatment, I still feel I would like to talk to someone. I wish I would've asked during treatment, but I was probably so tired and fatigued I didn't think of it. There are still emotions to deal with after treatment. Being able to adjust to my new normal. People assume because treatment is done and you are currently cancer free everything is good. My oncologist just emailed me back and told me she would have the therapist call me. Good Luck I hope counseling helps. I think it's a good idea.

I was in the chair today, too! I have been having a rough time with some crap my husband has been pulling and the PA noticed. She offered to get the oncology counselor to see me immediately, but I already had an appointment for Wednesday, so I told her I could wait. I think oncology counselors are an underutilized tool for cancer patients. I'm glad you are taking advantage of this wonderful resource.
