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

    Hi my view is you need to do what is right for you. You have been through a lot physically and mentally and if you feel you’re not ready then you should listen to that. It’s better to have more time off than go back and not manage. Good luck x
