Hi Leonie, lovely to hear from you. Of course I remember you! How are you? I would love to join your Facebook group, perhaps message me the details and I will take a look.
Thank you to everyone of you for your support. I am feeling stronger with every day. One question I would like to ask is regarding work. Last time I worked through all my treatments taking minimal time off. This time I don't need chemo or radiotherapy but I feel more emotionally and physically drained. I am currently off work and just wondered how others have coped. Did you take much time off work or did you work through? My job is quite stressful and demanding and I just don't feel in the right head space to be there at present.
Look forward to hearing more from you all soon
Take care xx
