Hypothetical question about reversal and return to work

I received my colostomy in November 2024 because of stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis. Because of my career (legal social worker) I cannot return to my job with a stoma and they will not allow me to work from home. I'm perfectly happy with the pension I receive from my job.

hypothetically, would you keep your stoma in order to not return to a job or would you get a reversal and return to the career? if I were to get a reversal, it is likely 2 years away and I wouldn't be guaranteed to return to the same job.

financially without the cost of travel and childcare etc I am nearly making the same on my pension. im 42F if that helps.
