Good news! As one who had cancer in the left breast and one lymph node, I can vouch for the potential for a good outcome! I worked throughout treatment, it works for some (I had no nausea or fatigue from chemo) and it doesn’t work for others. For me, the ability to live normally and actively was worth a very great deal. The very best you can do is support your wife in what she wants to do. Exercise, Pilates etc - excellent stuff! Some people find chemo very hard, others find it much easier than they imagined, you can’t really know till you start. Take each phase step by step, but look forward - that’s the only direction to take. Best wishes.
