Dear Tink
O.......M............G I soooooo admire you for going back to work! At the time of my first mastectomy & chemo in 2010 I also eased back into work, but got very tired very qickly. Did the same after 2nd boob removal -same thing. Tiredness and inability to be totally reliable for work. I felt completely useless! Now, nearly 5 years on, on my own (my choice; too intolerant, selfish & set in my ways to let a man in my life!), of course the issue is finances. I used up 2 lots of income protection, am on disability pension, & at the stage where I need to begin selling of things I've been hoarding, & nice things I feel guilty about having when on a pension. I think youre amazing, back at work.
I am almost retiring age I guess...post a bit on here, look after grandkids which is toally awesome, & keeps my "whingeing meter" in check, & also my involvement in a breast cancer support group is very helpful, challenging & supportive. Perhaps I should go back to piano teaching.....something I can control!
Best wishes to you-keep posting!
Love & hugs
