Hi Sue
I had a similar decision a few years ago though it wasn’t related to bc, but hope my comments help…
My son has autism and other problems and I too was struggling with work/life balance with the amount of time I was taking out of work and felt guilty asking others to take him to the Drs etc. In the end I decided nothing was more precious than my family so I decided to work part time, it meant changing jobs but I haven’t regretted it one bit.
The bc does make you sit up and look at your life and to me, family comes fist and of course your own well being!
I’m not sure if this helps, but perhaps you could ask if your post could be job shared or something?
Good luck Denise x
Have PMd you x
