Hi
Not been on here for a while.. sorry.. I know how much having these chats helps everyone one here going through the same thing..
I went back to work in April..6 weeks after treatment finished.. think I went back to soon.
Everyone just expects me to be back to "normal" but to be honest I'm exhausted..
Im constantly tired..im in pain again in my bottom area.. seeing the consultant next week who thinks its anal fissures and my joints are aching..
I've made the decision to retire early in march next year ( I'm 59).. ive been with the company for 32 years and feel so sad I'm having to walk aaway.feeling like a failure..
My boss ( who is male) keeps saying well your quitting and makes a joke of being a quitter.. I feel so sad.. after everything I've been through this year..im not a quitter.. im constantly crying..
Sorry for putting it all on here.. Just needed to get it all off my chest xx
