Return to study

Hi everyone,

My name is Michelle, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer (stage 2) in May, 2011 at the age of 36 with a husband and three young children. I've had two lumpectomies, three months of chemotherapy, 6 weeks of radiation and now I'm on tamoxifen for five years.

I start Diploma of Graphic Design next week - this is something I've always wanted to do for many years!  

I wonder if anyone out there managed to study full time or part time while on treatments? How did you cope? Has it affected your health? What strategies did you use to manage family commitment, housework and study?

Would love to hear from you :-)

Thank you

Michelle
