I dont go back to work until October. Mentally I was bad at the end of Chemo, and physically exhausted by the end of Radiation. I am a Pharmacy Assistant, and it is vital I can think straight, remember stuff, and have energy to do manual stuff. I also got a warning by a doctor, at a seminar held in Launceston, The Journey Beyond, not to miss afternoon naps all the way through. The Dr said, those who push themselves during cancer treament can relaspse, energy wise, down the track. For me, I decided that Id never had Cancer before, it seemed pretty serious, and I would take the year off to get over it. I couldnt get my head around Cancer and "Soldiering on!" I thought, Ive soldiered on my entire life, Im seriously sick, so Im going to treat myself with care now! Just me and my situation though, we are all different. XX Bel
