Radiation Therapy and work

Thank you all for this amazing information. Like so many of you I am a teacher. I have had July-December off for chemo and also operation. I had 20 weeks sick leave up my sleeve.  I am so glad that I rarely took time off.  Mastecomy done,  recovering nicely thank you and starting to feel relatively normal for the first time in such a long time (except for strange feet).  Now radiation is coming up so your information above has been just so valuable to me. I see the radiologist January 7 and then will know when we start etc. I hope to go back to work in Term 1 and need to start formulating a plan for return to work transition which I will get checked by the union, my oncologist and then submit my suggestions to the school for them to consider and formulate etc. I cannot tell you how incredibly powerful this forum is. Each time I get to read such a diverse range of positive and negative experiences and opinions etc. . This then gives me not only the knowledge to talk with my radiologist/oncologist etc but it also allows me to make my goal posts broad enough to cover all possibilities. While perhaps knowledge is not power but it certainly is comforting.  Thank you for sharing. Regards  Kay
