Husband and chores

This also is a problem with the Brave face during chemo we put on. The media show women full makeup working with no hair, people dancing during chemo. I get we all like to try...but the hidden hardship of cancer treatment is unknown by so many. If you have a breast care nurse she may be able to have a conversation with your husband about how chemo will impact you. I had the Cancer Care coordinator talk to my Boss...as they couldn't understand how long the recovery from it was. It took 6 months for me to return to full time work. It was harder as a previous worker continued working during treatment and they thought it would be the same for me (and so did I) I have since met this person...a very different regime. ..and also a worker who works far below her capable capacity normally (lazy worker ho only ever did what she had to -  was her colleagues comments ). I'm not like that...if I'm there at work I'm all in and doing 100%.

I do recall thinking I would be able to work. My breast care nurse and chemo nurses really spelled out how that probably wasn't going to happen and supported me when I realised I couldn't just carry on.  Amid the floods of tears.  X
