Hi Leonie, thanks for your post. I am on leave from my part-time job at the moment, and will have to make the decision whether to go back or not next year. I don't like my job at all, and have been unhappy in it for quite some time, so I would rather not go back. You are right, some days are such a struggle to get moving. I know some people do go to work while they are having chemo/treatment, but how they manage it is beyond me!
Yes you're right, there's nothing anyone can say to make this situation go away, but the messages of support and reassurance that I'm 'normal' in feeling anxious about treatment outcomes is a comfort.
Hang on to that husband of yours...you are incredibly lucky to have someone close to walk this journey with you!?
Hope you have a wonderful X-mas Leonie,
take care
Celeste?
