Billy,
Don't depair-I too had to go back to work and was not, I felt like, ready for it. In fact, I still had in my peg tube!! I was so afraid I would have to go out to lunch ( my job is to sometimes entertain customers at lunch and schools,etc.) So if was the first day, and I stumbled out that I had to go on some errands at lunch. I rushed home, drank a can of carnation and flew back to work. What a stress. AFter the first week, though, thinks just got back to normal and I try to make doctors apptmts late in afternoon and leave work a little early. They have been so kind to me so far. Had to miss work when I had the peg removed because I was in pain. I hated missing. I don't want to be the poor little girl with cancer that is dying syndrome. I want to be strong.(HAHA that is my weakness)
Just take it a day at a time, even an hour at a time sometimes. You will make it and get stronger every day.
