Hi Judy, I have not worked for 15 years after my first diagnosis of early breast cancer . At that time my employer gave me 12 months leave to recover and make up my mind if I wanted to return to work. I was working as a trained nurse and the job was stressful so I enjoyed my leave and didnt return. Soon after my grand children were born and I enjoyed being there looking after them whenever I could. Now I have metastatic B C which I have been living with for over 4 years . My husband is rretired and we make the most of every day. Visiting friends going out for lunch or just out for coffee. We live on the coast so walks along the beach are my favourite. I love craft work and keep productive.I know everyones interest is different but for me it is good to take time out for yourself. As they say stop and smell the flowers as long as you don't get hayfever. Love Wendy
