Returning to work after an extended absence
So, I had a lumpectomy and then a bilateral mastectomy + reconstruction last year. I had planned to be away from work for something like 8 weeks. However, a few things got in the way - a nipple graft...
What a bummer about the infections that has prevented you returning to work earlier. :( I hope you settle back to work nicely without hassles ... as you say, it is great (in a way) that your boss has also been ill recently, so possibly more sympathetic to your cause. Be kind to yourself - you may find yourself being quite tired in the early days (maybe do half days to start off with?)
Take care & all the best
