Good for you!
I believe to find/obtain the correct medical diagnosis/treatment took alot of commitment and perseverance. Possessing these qualities will allow you to achieve anything you truly set your mind out to do.
It's difficult to compare oneself prior to post treatment - try not to worry too much about past struggles.
The excitment you have to return tells me that you're "ready" for this step. The apprehension should pass as you receive some positive results.

Good Luck,
