The end is near

Really funny that I can for the first time in 7 months I can see the end.  I have so many mixed emotions.

Not sure, what to do, cry, laugh, celebrate.  I cried quite a bit over the last few days, maybe it is just because I feel tired.  I broke down completely on Friday, in public, not a great place to really sob.  Ironically, I was attending a McMillian coffee morning and was happily chatting away to a gentleman, I had never met.  He had lost his wife 2 1/2 years ago to breast cancer. It didn't get her straight away, it came back 3 years later.  I really tried to compose myself, but could feel the emotions welling up and I just broke down and cried.  Don't know if it was the reality of what was happening or the truth of how scared I feel sometimes of it coming back.  The poor guy didn't know what to do with himself, while I sobbed.  Just so close to home and too raw for words.

I have such mixed emotions about next week.  There is a part of me that feels safe while I am having treatment, it has become my safety blanket, but a week Friday when it has all finished, that blanket goes.  It does scare the hell out of me, don't know why, just terrifies me.  I am expected to just carry on with life as though nothing has happened.  I know that this is something I am very good at, but this feels different.
