Hey I'm a teacher too!! I was diagnosed yesterday so text my head n popped in today. I'm deputy... I also teach year 1. The other deputy knows and my 2 year 1 colleagues and the chair of govs who is a close friend. We lost our previous head to a brain tumour, very late diagnosis. I was acting head 2 terms all whist struggling with a 2 year old coz my ex walked out 😡 2 years on n we have our own little house n I was stating to feel great again bus this!!!!! Life certainly deals u a hand lol! My advice is get it out there... Tell a trusted colleague and ask them to drop feed I have... I said no one is to use the c word or treat me with kid gloves. When I'm in I'm in coz I'm well enough and if I'm off it's coz I simply can't work feeling as I do. I'm only 40 so I think youngish it's not fair but then life sends thaws things to the copers. I start chemo in 2 weeks for 5 months and then the op. I have more biopsies Thursday and bloods then scan Friday to see that it isn't spreading. It better not be coz I'm gonna kick its butt!! 👊🏽 🙊 stay strong and keep sharing xxxxxx
