mysecondchance's Decision Point Experience

???

Once I got my diagnosis I pretty much decided I would not return to work. My job was stressful. I figured if my treatment wasn't successful I wanted to spend whatever time I had left enjoying myself and spending time with family and friends. If my treatment was successful I still wanted to spend my time enjoying my life and spend time with family and friends.

I waited to make the final decison at the end of my treatment. My doctors kept telling me I would be able to go back to work. If I had to I guess I could have but I don't think I have the stamina to take the pressures of the job. I am happy I was able to make the decision and it was not determined by my financial situation.

I do not regret the decision.
