Re-excision
Hi all
I have been a silent participant in the online network so far - really valuing the insight and experience of those who are further on the breast cancer journey (more like a magical mystery t...
Thank you, both of you. I am feeling a bit better today - it helps just to share these feelings, espcially about how to deal with the uncertainty in my work planning. I did let immediate clients know I have BC when I was first diagnosed but was really upbeat about it - "Oh, I have been diagnosed with BC, but it's all good....." and tried to be accurate about how and when I would return to jobs (a bit naive really). But then I started working again too early after surgery and had really poor concentration and inability to complete tasks which was difficult. In retrospect I should have told people I would be out of action for longer but I am also worried about losing clients. I guess my other worry was about the delay to radiotherapy with the delay in having the re-excision. I can't do anything about it so I have decided to treat the next month as a hiatus that allows me to recover and do a bit of work before I have surgery again. I was not looking forward to radiotherapy anyway so happy to wait a bit longer for that. Did you find radiation made you tired? Was it better having it in the morning? Cheers
