I just don't know how people can still work and undergo treatments. I am making so many mistakes when I am at work. That is on the days I can make it to work. The fatigue is getting the best of me. I feel like I am not being effiecnt at my job. Plus on the days that I can not make it into work I do not get paid. I am starting to have problems covering my bills. Plus the hosptial bills keep coming in. I just don't know how many more times I can say can I pay you $20 a month until it is paid off. I am just so tired.

" Well ladies I have returned to work. I have just completed my first week back. I am still experiencing fatigue and have to take more breaks than I did before everything happened. But considering what I have been through this year I am blessed to be returning to work as soon as I have. It took a long time for me not to feel like a failure for not being able to work and go through treatments. But I soon realized that I had to take care of myself because the job will go on with or without me. My health and life is more important than any job. So for those of you who are contamplating on what to do about work. Take care of you because you are more important than any job. "
