5 Tips For Returning To Work After Treatment

Image
Going back to work after treatment is a big deal, well it was for me anyway. I had so many questions running through my mind and scenarios which constantly kept triggering my anxiety but the main question that was at the forefront of my mind was ...would I be able to cope? I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Stage 2 HER2 Positive Breast Cancer in May 2017 at the ripe old age of 31 and after completing fertility treatment to preserve embryos, shortly after diagnosis, my brutal cancer treatment begun. 5 months of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy, full auxiliary node clearance, 20 rounds of radiotherapy and 18 rounds of Herceptin. It was a busy 15 months that's for sure. When I was undergoing treatment, being at the hospital week in week out became routine, a bit like a really crappy job. I knew what I had to do, knew what could go wrong,  prayed that it didn't , had my lunch on my chemo chair, chatted with other patients like I was in a weird board meeting, but didn't have t

How I Love My New Style After Cancer Diagnosis

Written in May 2018. Its funny isn't it, my look was seriously altered after I lost my hair and I feel like I've finally found my style. Not to blow my own trumpet but...ah what the hell toot toot!

I look at myself now and sometimes flick through old photos that come up on my Facebook throwback and start to compare, and I think 'wow....was that me'. I'm 6 months post chemo, my hair has grown a few inches. Ive dyed it pink, my eyebrows are thicker, my body curvier.

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is tell my dad I had cancer. I knew it would be hard . Daddy’s girl about to cause daddy’s heart to break.  You always want to deliver good news to your parents.  Make them smile.  Make them proud.  Good grades, a promotion at work. Not this. How the heck do I say it...? As usual , I tried to keep a smile on my face. Be strong just like my dad is. I waited at my parents house for my Dad to come home from work. Sat in the kitchen on Mum's brown leather sofa, carrying this shit cloud of news that didn’t even seem real.  My mum opposite me looking at me with this fear in her eyes. Looking at me thinking ‘why my daughter’. I heard the keys turn in the door. My heart pounding anxiously. What word should I say first. My mouths dry.  ‘Well’ he said ‘did you get your results’ he asked me with a worried yet hopeful tone.... ‘Not good’ I said . Trying to hold back my tears. Trying to hold my smile . I will never forget his re
