An existential question, really...
However, I see to my surprise that it's more than a week since I posted here. I was away at meetings for a few days then a friend came to visit, which was lovely. However, having driven something like 1700 km in the space of 5 days, by yesterday I was absolutely exhausted, particularly since I've also been teaching online and writing various reports, so posting a new message here was the last thing on my mind!
I've come to the conclusion that the tiredness isn't sinister. Rather, it's a result of overdoing things. Since I've been feeling so much better, I've been prone to take on too much, partly so that I can pay the bills but partly - and maybe mostly - to prove a point both to myself and to the world in general; you can carry on a normal life after cancer.
I wonder when the need to prove that point finally subsides... and why does nobody talk about it?
