Jeff - With any change that occurs in life - whether it is good or bad there is usually a certain amount of stress. During treatment, there is a sort of "normal" routine we get used to and when that ends, we have a "now what" sort of lost feeling that Amy mentions. As a caregiver, when my son's Tx ended, I felt the loss of a previous routine, and it took a while before a "new normal" was established and a new routine came into play. Knowing what to expect brings a feeling of some control over whatever situation we are in. The new "normal" does take hold and things do get better - for both survivor and caregiver!
