Hi Lorretta
Thank you for your reply. Working in child care is the hardest when you are sick, even when you are well it's very physical and demanding. I work with 0-2 year olds and had 4 months off. It was hard as we have the mortgage and three kids(15,13,9). Im not very old under 40 and having breast and lung cancer is the biggest journary of my life and to get back to work was and is the hardest. I work full time, i did start with half days for the first week then returnded to full time. I have come to realise that i should have went back for only 2-3 days. So my advice to you is go back slowly. I have a great boss and if i told her that i needed to change hours im quite sure it would have happened but i have been back 5 weeks now and needed more time to get over the chemo. Also join a breast cancer group if there is one available in your area, I attend them and its very informative and helpful.
I will keep in touch.
Kind regards
Natalie
