As always, coming to this site and reading your stories is a huge help - it makes me put my situation into a different perspective and a reminder to count my blessings. That said, feeling far too emotional today and most of the week really - I am not normally a cryer but it keeps coming in waves. I have done so well so far but yesterday worked on my school work all day and just could not get finished what I wanted and I do need to get this done. I seem to be working in slow motion. It is actually never ending. I love what I do but at this point I am questioning if it is time to retire. I do not want to feel that I am getting special treatment because of my breast cancer because that will get up people's noses but do have to accept that at this point in time I cannot be the same person as I was before. My plan is to get through this year so that I can see my current Year 12s who are the first co-hort exiting under the new examination system, and then spend time praying and pondering my future. At 64 perhaps it is time but I love doing what I do so very much (more tears). Time for a cup of tea and no more work today. I need to get a hobby! My thanks to you all. Regards Kay
