In many ways it's even better. And "new normal" to me just means making minor adjustments to the changes in physiology from pre treatment. Some of these things might have occured as a part of the natural aging process anyway. I too, like probably most of us, suffered depression post Tx and lived through that also. It's just part of the process - it'll pass too...
