back to work

Andrea has a heavy task's picture

Back to work I go on Monday to lots of questions I can not answer.

Got a letter from the hospital the other day, said an appointment will be made for me in about 3 weeks time my case is going in front of a board to see what happens next.

It has been a hard month also 2 different hospitals one of which is women's health, had my last appointment with them on the Friday before the op on the Wednesday at the other hospital. The second tumour they thought was ovarian cancer the oncology department there found that it was lymph node, but as far as I can get the info did not get to the other in time, this is only an assumption as I could not get answers at the time of the surgery or after, feel a bit in limbo, everybody keeps saying ask questions I have been but no answers

Re: back to work

All the best.

If people ask tricky questions remember you can tell what you want to tell and keep what you want to yourself . Maybe work out beforehand what you want to say so you won't be caught offguard. You will know those who are genuinely caring and concerned and those who may be curious. Maybe you want to tell all you know mmaybe not.

I agree that working could help take your mind off the waiting .

Actually, work can be a god send when you are ready for it, however LIFE has bills to pay....so some of us go back earlier....Choose your attitude every day and if there are days when you cant, maybe you should take a health day? Jules

Re: back to work

It is difficult to have to wait, going back to work may take your mind of things for a while.
I assume the board is the team that are looking after you, and after looking at all the issues in your case will offer you the best pathway to take.

Keep strong
