It is common to experience insecurity, fear, or changes in self-esteem.

However, many women agree that true recovery begins when treatment ends. It is then that the constant check-ups disappear, people around you stop asking how you are, and a much more intimate question arises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>\u00abAnd who am I now?\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Learn to <strong>self-love after beating cancer<\/strong> It is not about going back to being the person you used to be. It is about accepting that you have changed and discovering that you can also build a stronger, more conscious, and freer version of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong><strong><strong>Why is it hard to regain trust after an illness?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">There is a notion that finishing treatment means \u00abreturning to normal.\u00bb The reality is often different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">After an illness like cancer, the following may appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Physical changes that affect body image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Fear of a relapse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Sense of vulnerability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Anxiety about the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Difficulties in recognizing one's own body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Physical fatigue that limits usual activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">All of this can cause self-esteem to decline and make it difficult to trust oneself again. Psycho-oncology specialists remind us that these emotions are common and are part of the adaptation process, not a sign of weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-14\"><strong><strong><strong>Self-esteem doesn't return on its own: it is also trained<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-15 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Just as the body needs rehabilitation after certain treatments, self-esteem also needs care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-16\"><strong><strong><strong>Allow yourself to not be okay all the time<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-17 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Many survivors feel the pressure to constantly appear strong and grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">However, living with moments of sadness, uncertainty, or anger is completely compatible with having overcome the illness.
