My journey of B C

Hi Butterfly 40, I work in a predominantly male work environment and had been selected to work on a special project that I had to promise that I would not take holidays or time off from. I had to notify my boss (for that project) that I had to have a day off to find out my results and one of my male colleagues walked in as I was explaining. That was the beginning of my team finding out. My appointment was 11:30 the next day and by 12:30 they were on the phone to me to find out how I had gone. From that time on I was wrapped in cotton wool, questions were asked so that I could talk and de-stress. I joked around and that allowed my team to joke with me. I had bought a wig because I was told I was to have chemo and wore it to work one morning and then answered yes I had been to the hairdressers on the weekend - whipped it off and then it did the rounds of the team so they could all see what they looked like blonde! I was thrown a good luck party where they had all made home made dishes and bought them in. It has been a total bonding experience and their kindness and compassion have been an incredible support. I in turn have been able to listen and assist when health issues have arisen in the team and I consider myself so very lucky to work with such wonderful people. One of the lovelies even went so far as to offer to give me regular breast examinations to ensure I was okay - Bwahahahaha!!!!! Cheeky bugger!! I'm sure you will deal with the queries regarding your health with no problem and if you do have a little cry there is no shame in that. You are on an emotional roller coaster and sometimes your emotions are low and you cry, other times they are high and that's fantastic. Please let us know how you are going Xx Cath
