Hi again melvery
Good to see you are taking small steps at a time. Unfortunately when i got the my journey kit i read way too much about what was to come and ended up in tears.
Regarding wotk i returned part time during chemo and sent my work colleagues an email about my diagnosis. I also mentioned i was happy to talk about stuff but wanted to focus on work while i was there and found the majority left me alone. I thought being upfront was best as i had no energy to try and hide things. My boss also made a point of telling my colleagues how important it was that they dont come to work sick so i wasnt put at risk of picking things up when my immunity was down.
Just remember you always have friends here who have been through what you are going through. Keep smiling??
