Says that it was great to return to work after being ill for six months.

 



So I was off work for the full 6 months and I knew I was getting better because I was just itching to get out and I wanted to get back to work. And it was the greatest day of life I think was going back to work, being me again, and seeing the look on people's faces. Some were shocked, some were cheering, and everybody took it a different way. But it was a good experience, I learned from it and I hope other people learn from it. The treatments have changed so much now but what I had wasn't that bad.
