Going to back to work was something I was deeply committed to and the thought of returning to work acted as a great motivator during treatment BUT the transition has not been that simple! Far from it; over the next few weeks I will explain with some good examples of what to consider and things to prepare for - watch this space!
I have to say the professionals and even breast cancer care web site, offered minimal tips or guidance. My oncologist said ' it will take you at least a year... so be aware' and that was kind of it really..... left to get on with it. I am not winging here as I am more than thrilled to be back at work. However, being aware of the pitfalls, blips and issues could help other people in similar situations. Like energy levels, this is something we all take for granted. What surprised me was that on arrival at work I was shattered due to driving, all my energy had gone into concentrating on the traffic and driving my own car- this impact upon my energy levels I noted early doors and took action quickly. I spoke with my manager and with support was allowed to arrive and leave work after the commuter traffic - great. This was only for a short while but made a big difference.
