My husband was diagnosed with the same as you and we are about a year and a half out now. Life is relatively normal. We worry some, but he went back to work in the Northernmost part of Alaska on January 5th. Last chemo was on 10/26. It took several months to get back to eating everything, but he got there and has actually gained back about 20 of the 56 pounds he lost. (He had the weight to lose.)So, keep your chin up. It is hard, but it does get better. The times of Dr appts and scans are stressful, that's why we are here!!
Keep in touch.
