Down time

Hi Tess, I had a little giggle reading your blog...you certainly have a good way with words and it sounds as thou you are in a pretty good place to start your journey. I, on the other handed, was pretty messed up and to be honest I am still struggling at times. As far as working I think it depends on where you work and how the chemo effects you personally. Physically I haven't been too bad. I probably could have worked 2 out of each 3 week cycle for at least part of the day but mentally I was hopeless! I couldn't work even before the chemo started as I had myself dead and buried by this Christmas! I do know of a couple of women who worked all the way through chemo except for a couple of days. One a nurse friend and another in an executive role. Also I have Facebook friends who also worked. Most of them said it helped them keep the focus off bc and some didn't have a choice financially. I consider all of them Wonder Women! I think it will depend on your financial situation, your reaction to the chemo as everyone is different and maybe how flexible your employer can be. Plus how exposed to infections you maybe! keep us posted on how you are going. I'm hoping to pop down to Tassie at the end of chemo for my 30 year school reunion in June, maybe we can catch up for a coffee? What suburb do,you live in? Mandy xxxx
