I've just started back workIng full time which is going better than expected, it's great being back in a work environment, it's fun and gives purpose.
Initially I had some concerns if I would make it through the day as still managing pain issues, but I've found that as I have got physically fitter and into the pace of business that the pain has reduced and not a hindrance. The pain is still there and significant but if you keep busy with positive stuff it can be pushed back and become secondary. Since my last post I had substantially increased and changed my pain regime, and now that I have pain in check I'm starting to reduce the RX dosage. I have reduced my work role, responsibilities and only working 4 days but there is certainly enough meat to keep me professionally challenged and stimulated. Getting back into the workforce after a 15 month break due to treatment has been yet again another challenging stage which I'm please to report that I've got through.

My journey: Living with and overcoming Synovial Sarcoma. A rare and nasty Cancer. Not a how-to guide but ideas and observations during my experience so far. There are only a few SS survivors publishing and I've found their information helpful and reassuring. The site is also to update my wonderful supporters on my progress. Image above was pre-diagnosis by my daughter of the 'Alien Baby'. This tumour has been removed but the battle to eradicate the disease continues.
