Career crossroad
I finished herceptin Aug 2010. Unhappy in job for quite a while. After treatment, I started a light job search. I now have an offer on the table I need to respond to on Monday.
I have a mammogram on Monday...followup from 6 months ago with suspicious area - radiologist said that was normal at that stage of the game--post radiation....
What to do, What to do?
I think it's a good business decision...but I am SO afraid of finding out cancer is back after changing jobs.
Talked to oncologist today said post treatment chances of recurrence are around 15%. If it would be a good change - go for it...just be cautious about a seemless insurance transition.
Right now I am on 6 month screenings. Time-wise, that is pretty much like the rest of the world...So, I guess to summarize my questions:
1) change jobs? i.e. sink or swim?
2) press for opinion of mammorgram before I leave telling them situation? Oncologist said he would know Wed or Thursday
3) Although I am terrified, and my current employer has been supportive. We just don't match anymore. In my heart I truly don't feel I am able to be me and be all I can be, due to who they are. Not mean, just they way things are, chaos...etc.
4) I've identified part of my problem as grief...loss of purpose, saying goodbye, feeling like I'm letting someone down..loss of who I used to be...loss of success...etc.
Sisterly advise..pleeeeeeeese
