Wondering how others are getting along in thier careers post treatment.
I feel very very vulnerable at my job sometimes... and like people just think of me as some sort of freak. Its so hard! frown I work really hard and try and do my best possible work and get along with everyone and be as innovative and creative as possible but I feel more and more marginalized at times. I'm 36- I have to keep working for a lot longer. I am a graphic designer in the beauty industry ...its a competative feild and i work with all women who are just not very nice to one another sometimes.

I wish I could explore other options but I feel kind of stuck there- Who else would hire me without a tongue? God communication skills are always emphasized in every job description I read. Would I be able to get health insurance if there were a million and one chance I could get a job offer elsewhere?

Does anyone else ever feel like this? Feeling stuck.
Sometimes its so hard to feel confident.
