    hi Bunny,

    I guess you are the only one that can decide about work. You know your body the best.. Don't push it, go back when you are ready...

    Hi Bunnie

    I see that you are in a tough position. Has work set a time limit on your leave of absence that is coming to an end soon? Can you talk to anyone at work to negotiate an extension of your time off period? As Leenie says, the decision has to be made by you but I can understand how difficult the decision that you are facing is for you. If it is any help, both of the messages that you have posted here regarding this topic strongly indicate that you don't seem to want to go back--at least not right now. Maybe you can renegotiate for a later return? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May next year be better for you. Love, Wimpie

    Hi Bunnie, I'm so glad that the people at your workplace are giving you some flexibility to come back when you feel you're ready. I decided to take four weeks off work after my mastectomy on Nov. 11, so this was my first week back to work. A lot of people asked me why I didn't just stay out till after the first of the year (I work in a school) but I think it was easier for me to come back this week and then to go out again. Everybody's different, though, and everybody recovers at different rates. I hope you are well.
