Feeling jittery
Has anyone got any good tips on coping with the fear we must all feel inside? I am trying hard to stay positive, but knowing my tumour was very large and 5/13 lymph nodes were infected, I am terrifie...
Thanks Tonya,
I do have a fantastic support network at the Insurance Company I work for. I am a Claims Manager and my job is very stressful (look at all the natural events we have had lately!!) so they have advised me only to come back when I am ready. Luckily i just clocked 10 years so apart from some sick leave i also have some long service! I am taking 4 weeks now as the surgeon recommended this following the lumpectomy and I guess chemo will be due to start at the end of those 4 weeks, in 2 weeks time so it will depend how i feel. It seems a waste to use long service for this horrible illness but then again I am so lucky to have it!! A friend of mine worked through her chemo, but i guess it affects everyone differently, so only time will tell.
Thanks again xx
