back to normality
Well today is my first day back to work after my double mastectomy and I'm really worried how I'll go. Looking forward to getting back to some sort of normailty but don't want to leave my little cocoon of my house :(

I haven't returned to work yet following my right mastectomy 6 weeks ago. I start chemo on Friday but do hope to do a few hours every week if I can. I can totally understand the apprehension of leaving Your "little cocoon" but I am sure like Donna said, after 30 mins or so you will feel right back at home.
Have a great day.
Love

I know how you feel, when I was home I felt alone and isolated and wanted to get back to wrok so very much, when the time came I was scared. I was so afraid I would no longer have it in me, that my chemo brain would surface and make me look foolish, but I was back here about 30 minutes and I realised that was silly, that I did have it and that I was the only person judging me.
Its great to be back with your peers, to have a sense of purose and have normalacy in your life again, though believe me you will get sick of telling your story, its all well meaning but thats the most tiresome part of returning to work.
Good luck.
