66-year old male with triple-positive breast cancer - still working

That really sucks @pnienaber - it is totally unfair after losing your wife to this insidious disease as well as having it now yourself. Scream & shout & rant & rave if you feel like it here - we are safe ears.
I am so glad that your work is supportive of you & I hope you have supportive family & friends too, as you may feel a bit crook with the chemo - but everyone reacts differently - and it depends on which regime you are on too! Some sail thru it. My hubby is having chemo now for Stage 4 gastric cancer - and not doing too badly - just one horrible peeling foot ..... so keep an eye on your hands & feet, in case they are affected.
Take care, keep doing what you love doing & I hope you can keep doing that thru the chemo too. xx
