Dealing with people

I don’t whether other people feel this way I have recently returned back to work and I know people on work mean well but I’m getting annoyed with constantly being asked how am I feeling am I tired,am I just odd but does anyone else feel this way I just want to try and get on with a normal life and stop being a patient.

Hi chilik…can empthasise with you and I have discovered that most people just really don’t know what to say, and are probably tryng to show care and concern for you.  There is quite an interesting thread somewhere on here about ‘the things people say’.

 

Not sure if you have ever seen this article cancercounselling.org.uk/Peter%20Harvey%20-%20After%20the%20Treatment%20Finishes%20then%20What.pdf if not then it is an interesting read that I still dip in and out of over 4 years post diagnosis.  Page 19 has a section about returning to work.

Hope that helps a little…take care M x
