Very sorry... I am in a profession that I love dearly, I don't even consider it as "work" much, it is one of my most favorite things to do like a hobby. It is also very collaborative and I do a lot of supervising. I am pretty sure that, if it came to serious illness, I would try to continue this work pretty much as long as I can responsibly and with decent quality, and I would really make as much effort as possible to not bring my own illness and bleak outlook into it. I think all that would be very beneficial and helpful to me also emotionally, a useful distraction also, without making it into a spectacle.
