Hi all, Im just wondering if anyone has any advice about a work related query. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer two years ago aged 34 with 2 young children. I had the usual....surgery and 6 months of chemo. I have quite severe neuropathy in my legs as a result, but other than that I am mostly healed. I usually work in a paediatric clinic, which has now closed due to covid. I am being redeployed to work in a hospital, which in my previous life I probably would have quite enjoyed, but post-cancer I am really scared of this. Even driving past the hospital makes me feel sick. Having to go there for any reason at all usually involves lots of tears and me throwing up when I enter the building. I understand that we need to be re-deployed,but I dont want want to work in an environment that makes me physically ill. Work are supportive, but as I don't fall into one of the at risk groups, the rules are that I have to go along with everyone else. I'm stressed! I've been told to give it a try, which I will happily do but I know it will make me ill. I usually take beta blockers on day when I have to go into the hospital which is very rarely....Im not keen on having to rely on these.
I know this is trivial in comparison to the problems others are facing at the moment, but any ideas or advice would be welcome.

Hi Jodie
I was passing and noticed that you hadn't had any replies to your post here.
I'm not sure if you're aware but a couple of people have replied to the same questions that you posted in the life after cancer group. If you haven't seen them clicking here will take you straight there.
