Survived the return to work

Hi Ladies,

Went back to work this week which I had been dreading for a long time. To my surprise it wasn't all that bad but I was exhausted at the end of both days. I must say now that it has been good for me to get back to some normality in my life now that my treatment has finished. Unfortunatley I am still scard sh**less that my cancer is going to come back I hope this gets better over time as sometimes I just feel like breaking down into tears.

Hope you are all well.

  • Hey Leonie,

    Well done & dusted with chemo & no ratiotherapy to have seeing's i've opted for the bi-lateral mastectomy YAY  :-) Although yesterday was a 9 hour day @ the hopital 6 hours of that waiting if you please...very irritating but now over so no second thoughts I chatted with many different people in the waiting room which was interesting, One pair was an older Italian couple & the lady had a cry on my shoulder about losing her son 10 years prior.....I was glad I could help :-)

    The answer to you question about do we use our gift yes of course we do but no for personal gain,  I am an empath which is why this perfect stranger with broken English speaking lady felt she could tall me of her whole life time ordeal.  I read the ancient rune stones as well as being able to  tap into peoples personalities which is not alway a good thing either sometimes its's a burden as well as a gift but we use it the the best of our abilities.  My eldest daughter Jessica is really wonderful & so accurate with her readings,  she does phsycometry which is reading of jewlery or photo's or any posessions really and she is also a very strong medium where she can past messages on from a loved one thats  passed over or even tell you what you have been in a past life...the list just goes on & on

    My 19 year old Adriannah has chosen to try to block it out but she has alot of trouble doing so & because she does this she is finding that her own life has become miserable due to this fact, but she can't be told at this point that the sooner she accepts it the better she'll be, but the rest seem to just go with the flow of it all.... actuctually my youngest of my twins Mariah last night was quizzing me all about it which was quite funny because when they are very small they are well attuned to every spirit that passes through the house hold but once they get to about 8 they tend to not listen anymore BUT when they turn 14 years old is when the war between the good and evil have a massive war on which one the child choses...fortunatley for us we know what to do at this time so that good always wins, Thank God!

    Anyways I may be boring you so I'll leave it at that for now,

    Brightest Blessing to you & yours, Susan xxx

Leonie, I am taking your advice and looking after ME first at work and home life though it took a bit of getting used to at first as I used to always put others first, but i know it is cruticial in getting myself back to being healthy again.

  • Hi Susan,  Doesn't the time go quickly - bit like wishing your baby to get old enough to sleep through the night!!!! A fella told me before my chemo commenced that "Chemo is only for a short time" and he sure was correct.  (the after effects last a bit longer though)  Thanks for the book recommendation.  I will definately add it to my list.  I have 4 books on the go at the moment and not getting to any of them.  I will get a good chance to "attack them when we go away for a couple of days in November.  I love the gypsy medium heritage.  Do you use your "gift"?  I have been doing daily meditation and that sure gives me a different slant on life.  I will be participating in my last session of Mindfulness training tomorrow.  I have really enjoyed the 8 weeks of learning and will definately be continuing on the practice.  Best of luck with your last chemo.   Yeh!!!!!  It is such a celebration when it is finished.

  • Hi Renata,

    I am to finish my last chemo tomorrow, & I think that thought of what if it comes back lingers in all of our minds at the most inopportune moment & in the dark of night as well..I know I think oh shit I have bc what if....and then I move on to the next drama in my life which is always 1 of my 6 kids but then when I'm on my own it sneaks back in.....to be honest nobody knows when there time is going to be up so when you think about it, it is using alot of your own personal time worring about something which may or may not  happen, which in turn wastes you own precious time.....try to think the best & if your not think what you are thinking and put it in a box on the bench for another time when you wish to think upon it.  I can recommend a book which gave me peace of mind & hopefullness & I hope you get it & read it because it is the most awesome book I've ever read & I can honestly say I have read 100's of book mostly non fictional & a few fictional to lose myself at times....he it is " the author is Lisa Williams" & it's called "Survival of the soul"!  whether you believe in it or not is up to you but coming from a very strong line of gyspy mediums on my mothers side which all my 6 kids have also inherited is amazing.....read it & I promise you, you will look at things from a different perspective..  I hope I have been of some help.

     

    Brightest Blessings to you and yours,  Susan  xxxx
