Hi Lovely Ladies,
As some of you know, I’m out the other side now, two ops last Oct and Nov, Chemo January to April, radiotherapy In June and now Letrozole.
Im feeling good, I have some Lymphoedema and aches and pains, hot flushes, sleeplessness etc but manageable.
I’m unfortunately not working now as I was doing Home Help, I was self employed and the lady I worked for died some months before I was diagnosed so I decided to take some time out.
I got to spend all the Summer Holidays last yr with my two younger children, thinking I would start looking for another job when they returned to school, unfortunately cancer had other ideas! I was diagnosed shortly after.
So now I’m wondering “What now?” I have been in my local Macmillan Unit and have a booklet which I’m looking though.
I was at the hospital recently and they are doing a chemo buddy scheme, someone who has been through chemo and someone who is about to start, this really interested me, it obviously its not a job, however it get me thinking about maybe getting bk into education or training for Healthcare, but I really loved my job as a home help, so I’m torn as what to do now.
I have quite a few appointments coming up in the next few months so I’m not sure if I should be starting a job then having to have appointments to attend, if that makes sense.
Thoughts?

Hi Beachwalker19,
Fab news. As for work, do what makes you happy regardless of upcoming appointments. The right one will come along at the right time. In the meantime you could do voluntary, having the experience on a personal level would really help others. You have helped me of which I am very grateful for.
Alternatively, you could start getting organised for Christmas as its not too far away. 
Just to let you know I am having echocardiogram this morning and 1st chemo session this afternoon. Fingers crossed this is the start of my recovery.
Xx
