Radiation Therapy and work
Hi, I have recovered well from a unilateral mastectomy for phyllodes tumour. My team have recommended radiation therapy, still waiting to find out if it will be for 3-6 weeks. I am a primary school ...
Hey @jamavon I am also a primary school teacher and went thru the whole chemo and radiation rollercoaster. During radiation I timed the treatments from 230pm onwards so I could work 0.75 of the day and take 0.25 as leave. Didnt have any major fatigue but this can vary for each person. Later appointments meant I also didnt have to battle peak hour hospital visiting hrs which was sometimes difficult to get parking.
