I think everyone finds their own way even if it might be a bit rocky at first. Work provided a great deal of purpose for me during active treatment, I was very happy to be able to work ( not everyone can even if they wish) and it kept me occupied at something I cared about so I didn’t dwell on bc too much. I had the opportunity to take on a new work challenge after 12 months - perfect timing! A four day week and a lot to explore gave me a better work life balance and a fresh start with some clearer thinking. I retired, as planned, last year at 75. COVID has affected my volunteering a bit but gradually getting to a new normal in this new world too. Only regret is overseas travel is off the agenda for a while!
