Hi This is my first day on this comm page, it is brilliant a bit about me, end of september this year I had a seizure, 1st of October they removed a brain tumour, have my results on this coming tuesday as they have been delayed, have felt left in limbo although they have confirmed its a level 2 glioma. I should be happy but being the xmas period and everything i am an emotional wreck, find it hard to not look at my wife and kids without getting upset. So difficult to protect them from seeing my emotions, dont want to worry them. I know on tuesday that I could be getting the green light to return to normality however I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience as I am terrified of going back to work, I cant see further than any couple of days I think i must be depressed. I have looked at some of the posts and it has made me feel ashamed as I know some of you are worst than me but it is such a difficult time that any people whom have suffered post op depressions and return to work worries please get in touch.I know I should be pleased to be getting back , it could be the kepra but I am worrying about everything.

HI hun you really need to talk these things through with someone. There are some really useful numbers on this stie. Just talking things through sometimes helps to sort things out in your head, if you know what I mean. You have had a tough time, do not underestimate recovery time needed. If you are not ready to go back to wrok, then you should see your GP.

Take care, ring Macmillan, they are really helpful.

Hi, Dyos. Welcome to the site. Hope you get the O.K on Tuesday!! As for getting back to "normality"

I can give you a great proverb.."The longest journey

starts with one footstep". Take each day at a time and try not to "overload" yourself with worries. Some people are worse than you and some are better, (healthwise). Reading "between the lines" in your post, you come across as one who cares about others before yourself. It's OK to think about yourself occasionally! And now's as good a time as any! I also found going back to work daunting, after nearly a year off but my colleagues could not have been more helpful. I hope your colleagues are the same.

Good luck and keep us posted. (Please excuse the pun!!)

Marc.
