Hi all tommorow I will return to work. After retiring for 6 months I was hounded by a former employer to get back to it,lol. So I've succumbed and will start with 2 days, so no more sleep in till 10 or not getting dressed I have got into that rut. Fortunately this lovely employer was around when I had bc and has now ventured out on her own, she knows I have appointments and knows about my blood cancer so I don't have to go through that whole explanation thing that sure does make it easier. Hope I've made the right decision .

    Hi Adean you can only try and if it gets to much then say so. You might actually enjoy it as now you have had a rest. Take it easy and look after yourself. Sorry forgot to ask what are you doing?

    Good luck Adean. I went back a few weeks ago then had to have a week and a half off. I now realised I pushed myself too hard too fast, so today I returned again with more reduced hours. I guess I didn't know how I would go until I tried. Don't be afraid to cut back if you have to and remember it won't be forever.

    All the best, Nadine

    Hi Nadine my breast cancer was 4 years ago and I did have time of , I recently retired from my previous workplace as we got a new CEO and he changed everything I persevered for a year but my morals were different to theirs so I left. I'm actually excited my new employee I worked for before and they chased me so it's a bit of a moral booster.

    If you get a bit tired see if you can set up a darkened room and a comfy chair for a catnap. Sometimes 10mins of quiet with eyes closed is all you need and saves taking the rest of a day off.
