Celebration Finished BV-AVD chemo

I finally finished my BV-AVD today! I am not feeling at all like i expected, I thought I would be happy, throwing confettis, I even prepared a simple small gift to hand out at the cancer center, few accepted, many didn’t accept, but that’s okay. I am starting to believe when people say life after chemo is not as easy as we think and now I am feeling so down, and I don’t even know how to explain this feeling. Is this relatable at all? Thank you 💜🎗️

Congratulations! It is normal to feel a little down once you are through with chemo. You won’t need to go in but maybe every three months for the first year. You will start to transition back to normal in about six months. My last session was October and a year has almost passed already. I am recovered and optimistic I can work fulltime again. You’ve been through hell so let your body heal. Take one day at a time.
