Hello Sarah, just to say, sorry you are going through this.  I have had breast cancer twice and it is a good idea to keep yourself busy with work, as the cancer diagnosis does tend to run like a non-stop loop in your mind, which is of course entirely natural.  Getting diagnosed with cancer is traumatic, but as you say, being at work will be a bit of a distraction for you and it keeps some normality in your life.  However, everyone is different.  Some people find that with a cancer diagnosis, they simply can't function properly in their job and they need to take time off to process everything and to go through the treatment without the added burden of work.  It is very much an individual choice.  Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck, take care, Violet. 

Thank you, I am leaning more to going to work until treatment starts.
