Hi Melinda and Miss M,
Mekibda - you do sound like a wonderfully strong woman with a very positive attitude. I thonk one of the hardest things to learn to do is to put yourself first and give yourself time to just be, to live life in the now and do the things you want to do with people you want to be with. I wish I was better at this and totally agree with all you said. I think my job is physically less taxing than yours working with autistic children or Miss M's as Director of a childcare centre. I am largely a desk jockey.
It is a very individual decision and depends hugely on how well you feel with treatment and the cancer. I'm lucky at the moment I fell well.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I hope you both can feel well enough and strong enough to return to work when you feel able
Hugs -
Judy
