I&#39;ve realised that although I have excellent support from my partner, I want to know how other people feel in a similar situation to me. I had a small tumour, with no spread to the lymph glands so the future looks good and I&#39;m lucky. My treatment is finished , surgery (lumpectomy) and radiotherapy and I&#39;m now on tamoxifen. I&#39;ve been feeling ok these last few months, getting over the fatigue from the radiotherapy, but I have not returned to work. My job is counselling in the NHS, and I have not felt able to return to working therapeutically with others when I still feel somewhat fragile emotionally myself. In the last couple of weeks I have been seeing my Occupational Health dept and my HR dept regarding work. I am also on ESA and have had a medical. All this has resulted in me suddenly feeling very low in mood and anxious. I wonder if others have experienced a similar sort of delayed reaction? At a time when I suspect others are assuming that i am getting back to normal, I actually feel worse than ever! It would be really helpful to know if others feel like this.
