where should I start??

I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I’ll just start with what’s going on in my life.

The cancer is gone!! I have had a clean mammogram in December. In March I had surgery to remove my "spare parts that I’m no longer using" It was laproscopic and the recovery was quick. I was worried in the back of my mind that the doctor would find cancer (fallopian tubes and ovaries) It was good for me psychologically to get them out.

I have to say one of the most challenging things about my recovery was returning to work. I had 6 months off for medical leave and I didn’t know how it was going to be. One of my co-workers is cruel and heartless and was saying really bad, mean things about me while I was gone. I also didn’t know how I would handle it emotionally and physically.

After a few months adjusting things are going quite alot better. It was a huge challenge.

Recently I went to CNA school and I am hoping to find another job in a different area of the hospital. I really need to work with patients. My job as a pharmacy tech. is very challenging and stressful. I have sufferred a little bit of "chemo brain" and have made a few errors with medications. I really need to find a different job as a nursing assistant. They work 3 12 hour shifts and that will be much more managable than 7 10 hour shifts.

Well, I will go for now. It’s a beautiful sunny day and I need to get doing stuff. I have to work 5 nights in a row then I will get 10 off because we are going on vacation to see my parent’s.

Take care,
Susan
