@Megs04 Hi! well I can definitely relate to you, ive been exactly in your position. I had my recurrence in 2015 and Id just transferred 5 months earlier to a new school! I had to have chemo this time and was so sick had to take term 4 off. They didnt renew my contract so I had to revert back to my previous School, which was actually a blessing. I however didnt have to have the mastectomy/recon til a year later as I was already treated and had a major lumpectomy. I also had teenage kids, working full time and flying solo. it WAS HARD! financially I had savings but Centrelink wouldnt help and I had no choice but to do income protection for 2yrs but that was only for 2 days and I worked 3. The recon is massive, I had a diep and was off for 2 months. I don't think there's an easy and quick way to do it. When did you finish treatment?
