                                            This is why I set up my own cancer group.  The healing is slow because there is no hand holding anymore when the treatment ends.  I personally felt like patients had been abandoned, especially at the time of the pandemic.  
You will never be the same person after cancer but you definitely will be stronger. Best of all you will appreciate the small things in life that you took for granted before.
Love to you all â¤ď¸                                        
                                    
                                                                        
                                        "The hardest part comes after."
â Princess Kate of Wales
In her quiet yet powerful words, Princess Kate once opened up about something many donât talk about:
âYou put on a brave face during treatment, but the real struggle begins after.â
She was speaking about her experience with chemotherapyâa journey that doesnât end when the last session does.
Because once the treatments stopâŚ
The world expects you to bounce back.
To smile.
To âgo back to normal.â
But the truth is, that ânormalâ no longer exists.
What follows is a deep emotional rollercoaster:
The medical team is no longer by your side every day.
The adrenaline of survival fades.
The exhaustion lingers.
And youâre left navigating a new version of yourselfâphysically, emotionally, mentally.
âItâs a much harder process than I ever imagined,â she said.
This isnât just a story of resilience.
Itâs a reminder: healing takes time.
Not just the bodyâbut the soul.
So if youâor someone you loveâis in that space after the storm, donât rush the calm.
Let it come, slowly. Gently. With grace.
And above all, donât expect to be who you were before.
Youâre becoming someone even stronger.
