If you work and have kids while managing this, I see you.
I think a few on here know my story already. I’ve (over)shared that I became diabetic after immunotherapy from skin cancer killed my pancreas. I’ve also shared I’m in the process of figuring out if the cancer has returned.
I’m single with no kids, and have a well supported and unionized job. My oncologist has given me a note to go on disability, meaning that right now managing the Beetus is literally my only full time job. Y’all, I still have days where I cry and can’t handle things. Those who work and deal with family on top of managing this are heroes, genuinely.
I don’t know how you do it.
I just wanted to say that I see you, and I can absolutely get how burnout happens. Keep fighting the good fight.
