breast cancer roller coaster

I successfully managed to keep bc confidential from my workplace (except the boss), and combined sick leave and annual leave to use up until after chemo. Then I realized....when I go back to work, everyone is going to know, because I didn't wear a wig, and no matter how much we kid ourselves, a beanie with no hair poking out is a bit of a giveaway, as are no eyebrows.lashes. So unfortunately on my first day back I had to face people who only realised what was happening when they saw me, hence lots of tears and shock (for them) and words of reassurance (from me). I would have been better off telling people before I came back, to let them get used to the idea before seeing me in person. Oh, well, next time.......hey no way, no next time! All the best!
