Day 12 is what would you advice yourself on day of diagnosis. I am not at my desk so this is by necessity simple and fast. But really so is my message. It's:
Take time to be kind to yourself, don't worry about work, prioritise yourself, and focus on getting through treatment and getting well again.
I tried to keep everything going and I couldn't really do that and do what I needed to recover. Would I do it differently now. Yes indeed.
This blog is about my thoughts on my own experience of breast cancer and becoming disabled, on self care, my passion for improving health and healthcare and about heartful leadership in all areas of life.
