What I see is: It's NOT cancer!

It comes back to one of the OC mantra; "It's not cancer until they say it is".

What you ask is totally a personal choice. Resigning, applying for benefits and such is a decision that would yield results depending on your personal situation. We all have had life changing decisions in our journey and it's truly an intimate and personal choice.

It comes down to how you feel. If your "passion" for your work has faded or you're just tired and need a break. Meditate on the circumstances of your situation and make the appropriate decision.

Good Luck, positive thoughts and prayers on whatever decision you make.
