When you're all done.........but still undone by cancer

@heukkipus, I so envy you for living in Norway! Although I lived in Europe for a while early in my career, I never made it to Norway, but I've always thought it would be a great place to live. Someday I'll make it there perhaps!
It sounds like you're doing all the things you can to have a better reentry into work than I did! I can imagine that the tight deadlines could be difficult at work, but it's great that you have supportive colleagues. I have not heard of Veozah, but I wish I'd known that there was an option like that while I was going through treatment. However, the problem I mostly struggled with was severe pain in my hips and feet as a result of the hormone blockers. I started treatment with Letrozole, but we switched to another drug after a while, and then I eventually switched again when the 2nd drug caused the same problem. The 3rd drug I took was arimidex, and to my surprise, I had much less pain with that one fortunately. I'm wishing you the best of luck as you resume your life post-treatment!

There is life after treatment, but it takes a while to get there. Except for the horrible neuropathy in my feet and of course the mishappen boob that always remind me, I am reclaiming my life. And then the blood test and the tumor markers that may or may not be up, the anxiety every dang time. In between check ups, it (cancer) recedes to the back part of my mind, stays there, sometimes triggered, and always the BC (before Cancer) and AC, (after cancer.) Cancer will always be a part of our lives, mine, my husband's, my family's. But we are living - walking with grace with God.

@annie60 I know His grace is what got me to this point and so grateful! Just finished treatments and had first mammogram to establish my new baseline and of course make sure all is well in there LOL. I am now trying to figure out how this all goes moving forward. I don't have an appointment until July and that just seems very weird. Until now I would at least have one appointment every other week. I told my MO that I feel like they were my security blanket every couple of weeks. And now….no shots every three weeks etc. Oh my!
