Don't worry, I still play piano and will keep doing that. I am hoping to, at some point, record piano and cello duets with myself. There are many amazing pieces for piano and cello, so who knows.
I always found the cello a beautiful instrument, but used to be afraid that my piano practise would suffer from it. While that might be true, if you are consistent with practise on both instruments it is very doable. It is very fun to learn the cello, but requires dedication. At the start, I couldn't play for more than 30 minutes at a time, because my fingers, shoulders and neck would hurt. Also, at the start, you will sound very bad, and since I used to have roommates, it is sometimes difficult to not care that you sound bad. But the main thing I enjoyed was seeing that I am in fact capable of doing this; at first, it is very daunting and the learning curve is quite steep. But practise is there to save the day. This video is also a nice way to show that anyone can do it, if they really want to. I sounded like crap, but I have improved. So you can do it too.
Some youtube channels that really helped me in the first couple weeks of learning cello:
