When your treatment ends, you may feel relieved. But you may still have side effects from treatment and other emotions to cope with. You will need time to find out what is now normal for you. It can take time to adjust. You may also be thinking about positive changes you want to make. These might include focusing on your well-being or planning some things to look forward to.
