Life After Chemo
Hi Guys
Hoping you can help.
I finished treatment for breast cancer in january..My last scan was clear..I'm taking tamoxifen for the next 5 years and trying to push forward..However i just can't seem to shake the feeling not wanting to do anything off..I feel like a shell of myself and have really low days..I was 100 miles an hour through treatment and had so many plans for when i finished it..I fear recurrence alot..I want to be on my own alot too..I watch people find themselves and become so motivated after treatment but I'm just not there.

Dear Gursey1985,
Thank you for contacting the Irish Cancer Society. I am sorry to hear about your breast cancer diagnosis. I hope you are recovering well physically since finishing treatment in January.
A cancer diagnosis can bring up many fears, emotions and feelings both during and after treatment. The Irish Cancer Society offers a free counselling service to people who have been impacted by cancer. The emotional side of cancer can have a huge impact on people, a trained counsellor can help you make sense of your feelings. I have attached a link to our webpage on counselling here.
If you would like to avail of the counselling service please contact one of our cancer nurses on the Support Line, Freephone 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.
Kind Regards,
Cancer Nurse
Hello I have just read your post. I finished treatment for Breast Cancer in April. I feel the way you do as well. I feel lost but I am slowly finding my way again. Be good to yourself. ❤️ You are a Survivor 👍
