I was diagnosed with breast cancer the week before Christmas, I’m due for surgery the beginning of February then radiotherapy plus hormone treatment, all pretty scary in its self but not knowing how long I’m going to be off work for is also praying on my mind to, so I was wondering if there is anyone on this site who could advise on roughly how long it will take for me to return to it. I am in administration.
Sorry if this is not the right forum for this question.
