What do you do (or did)?
I've found that I'm thoroughly intrigued by the work that people on this forum do (or did).

Return to work - 1 year on
This week marked my 1st anniversary of my return to work. It's funny how we many extra anniversary's we observe after our diagnosis. Last year when I returned to work I didn't know what my life would be like, or whether I'd ever be able to get back to nearly what I was before. In particular I was really struggling with…
