Hi @Zoffiel, @Afraser
I think its fine for a balanced view. I feel a bit uncertain i suppose and i can look at it both ways. Its probably normal to feel a bit of anxiety around it.
I talked to my physio at the cancer service i go to about it this morning as she was asking how things were going. It seems i have very similar personality and drivers to her and i ended up having a little cry because she understood exactly. I can be a driven person but i recognise the triggers and need to stay clear of them at least in the short term. She said wisely i think, that if i want you work, work and if i dont , dont. She also suggested to see psychologist to get some strategies to say no.
As it happens i got an email from my boss this morning asking about a role they are discussing for me. I decided to be upfront about some of my future commitments to see if they can work around them. I can work from home most of the time and if i can get clearance to wear a mask i can go to some meetings on site. Im sure if this falls through they would find something else.
Im possibly nervous about being judged one way or another if i cant pull it off in the way i plan. I dont want full rush rush but i want to live a semi normal existence. Im 48 and have many years before retirement assuming i keep this disease at bay. I cant live thinking the worst.
