Hi there,
I have had triple negative twice (18 months apart). First time like you I had a lumpectomy, chemo and rads. I tried having chemo on the Friday and going back to work on the Monday, but I just couldn't do it, mentally as well as physically. I then had the week after chemo off and was much better doing that. I did have ever only work part-time. I think everyone is different and with good support you may be ok. It all depends on how you react to chemo. The second time around I had to do chemo again and did the same thing, taking the week off after chemo. I really needed to work, it helped me to cope believe it or not.
Good luck and hugs to you.
