I totally agree with you of how it is with working. I work 5 days from 8-3.30pm and when I get home I have to get off my feet and have a powernap to be able to function for the next round at home.
Problem is Ive had this conversation with the Oncologist early on after treatment. Im 3yrs post treatment now and 2yrs I worked reduced hours thankfully as I had income protection. He wasn't helpful at all.
I dont think anybody realises how incredibly difficult it is to work after having been through any sort of diagnosis or treatment regardless of what it is. Also if you are on medication for a long time.
So Ive just found ways to manage it, so far its not too bad in my 2nd year full time now and my job is demanding.
Hang in there
