Pleurodesis

Good on you for resigning from your job!  I think you've got more than enough on your plate at the moment that having to worry about working as well!!  It is a shame that the money is what makes us worry, isn't it?  I would really love to drop some of my workload but it is hard....

I'm an accountant and have built my practice up from nothing to around 500 clients over the past 20 yrs.  It has been hard work and most of the time I enjoy seeing all of the different people...some more so than others!!  If I start giving up some of that work, I feel like I have been building it up for nothing and that all of my hard work was a waste of time.  I am not trying to increase my work now but I am just trundling along doing what needs to be done to maintain what I've got.  I could try to sell part of my practice but I wouldn't know where to start and I would be worried that the clients wouldn't be happy going to see someone else because they have been with me for so long (some of them for the whole 20 yrs!)....I would also lose my income source if I did that and I don't know what I would do then.  My hubby is not on huge money and we have two teenage boys who aren't cheap!  They are both at private schools and one of them is getting his drivers licence this year. I am pretty sure that we would have to sell the house and downsize if I wasn't working (and I really don't want the upheaval at the moment!).

Health-wise I am travelling pretty well - have an appt with the oncologist next Friday so I guess I will know more then.  The hot flushes from the tamoxifen are driving me nuts but I can live with that :)  I am back in to hospital on 14th March for a bit of tinkering on the reconstruction but will only be in there over-night.  I found a small lump in the side of my neck a few months ago and I know I should have had it checked but I'm in denial that it is anything to worry about.....will get the oncologist to take a look next week.

Anyway, take care of yourself and we'll speak again soon,
