I agree with everyone - take the lady up on her offer. Get a nice card and write a nice note and hand to her, to reciprocate the gesture. In your current MO, you are not yet "set up" for long term success, so taking time off and recharging/strategizing with the treatment team is the way to go. Your current MO is to present a sham to the outer world, and all your energy is consumed by this endeavor; you probably lack focus and tenacity because you think so much about how others perceive you. The lady who offered the deal probably was saying that, just indirectly and in a polite way. You need a clean slate and a different place of employment where all the folks are new. If you switch to the MO "How do I do this job the best I can?" from the MO "I need to project success and happiness and being together", you will have a better chance at said success... by the way.
