Hi everyone, I finished my last chemo last month and I am starting my road to recovery after major surgery in February then 6 rounds of chemo. I have stage 2b ovarian cancer. I don't feel physically or mentally ready to return to work and although my boss has been brilliant I am so scared of telling her that my oncologist has recommended a 6 month recovery time. I am so undecided whether I even want to return to work at all as having cancer has changed my whole outlook on life. Anyone else in this predicament or similar? Xxx
