A day off is a splendid idea. Stay in bed and cry until you run out of snot or start to feel a bit melodramatic and decide you want to get up and about. Mental health days are so important; give yourself a licence to do what ever you feel like at the time.
You are so right, the focus is all about finishing treatment and producing a series of clear scans. Our heads are in conflict with the system there--we do not just conveniently forget and get on with the rest of our lives. Much as we may try.
Track down a shrink or counsellor. You are probably looking for a psychologist if you want someone with a bit more grunt behind them--particularly if you feel all this is going to need some time off work etc. 'That Poor Woman' has been an invaluable helper for me when it all gets a bit much. Being qualified, she can also help keep Centrelink off my arse a little while my head catches up with my body (which is still pretty shite)
Best of luck with the red hot boob. Antibiotics. Yum. Every time I have a course of them now I get a raging case of thrush so I'm miserable at both ends. Marg xxx
