Dealing with emotions

Hi @SharonP    I think most of us know exactly how you feel.  I had my GP consultation a couple of days ago and the discussion of going back to work. ( 3 x Surgeries and Chemo last year from May to end of October ) I finished work in April when I was diagnosed. I think what bothers me most about the whole thing is that I have always been such a confidant person and strong minded with my work and what it entails and now the mere thought of it I'm struggling with.  I asked my GP for another 6 weeks off and then I will go back a few mornings a week which she wholly agreed with but if I was honest with myself I could have started back a lot sooner than that.  I know that it is inevitable and I will be dipping my toes in soon enough.  Maybe it will be fine and it will be like I never left ( I'm hoping ) but I know this bitch of a disease changes us and the way we perceive things. I also know I will have little patience now for the day to day dramas of some workmates about insignificant issues in the great scheme of things and maybe that's what worries me as well.  Time will tell.  I wish you all the best and agree with @Afraser life is very precious indeed.  xox
