First part of my journey coming to an end

Well done and take a bow! Good luck with the next stage of your journey and enjoy each day....

Well done on getting here, good to hear you are getting back to some normality, now go and do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Wishing you all the best x

Good luck going back to work.

I hope that your return to work goes well. 

Its understandable to feel nervous when returning after something as big as cancer and it is good that you are able to do on a phased return. 

We are still here if you need us in the future- sometimes people still need support after cancer, especially when returning to normal every day things. I see you have joined the Life After Cancer forum and I am sure it will be helpful.

You may find the Macmillan Hope course helpful. I did it myself and it is all done online and is free. 

I will pop a link in case it is something you would be interested in.

Good luck with going back to work , we started this journey at similar times and I like you question every ache, hopefully that will lessen , I am working my way back to being me,  I think I will be a different me but one that's also going to live life to the full. 

Take it easy when you go back its still a huge operation that you have had, thank you for all your support on my journey

Best of luck with your return to work.x

I hope your phased return to work is going ok. I am due to go back in two weeks time which will be 6 weeks post-op. I have only been off since early March but feel very anxious about going back. I do not feel ready and so will be speaking to my Doctor on Monday. I'm really hoping they will let me extend it. Best wishes with everything going forwards and thank you for all your support. 

Hi, if you don’t feel ready then talk to your Gp. My Gp was very supportive and if I had needed longer I’m sure she would have agreed and extended my sicknes. I also work for the NHS and they have a good system in place with phased return. I’m not sure I would have been ready 6 weeks post op.

i was ready to go back but after my first half a day I was mentally exhausted and he to have a nap when I got home.
