Thanks for all your encouraging words. I guess my guilt arrises when I read all the stories (Yours included) and feel that although I have cancer (I like to say HAD) and a mastectomy I haven't suffered the way that you and others have. I may even escape chemo (find out in two hours!). So I feel less than for wanting to have so much time off. I all of a sudden feel the need to re-evaluate my life and this will take some alone time and certainly not a full on stressful job like mine. I keep judging myself for this as I am so used to being all things to all people.
I appreciate your thoughts and words and yes I will get through this to a better me!
