Hi @Inky
Your wish to continue work through chemo is perfectly understandable. It’s also possible but not necessarily in your control. I worked through 6 months of chemo (A/C and Taxol) with no fatigue or nausea, but if there is any way to tell beforehand how you will fare, I am yet to discover it. It doesn’t seem to relate to attitude, age, general health or anything easily identifiable. Some people are OK (still be coping with some side effects but manageable) and others are temporarily floored. I worked in events so office staff, lots of external contacts, crowds and was fine. You may need a plan A and a plan B. Also to think about whether you feel comfortable telling people about treatment (I told my boss and colleagues, who probably told everyone else!) and managing the more public side effects like hair loss. Best of luck!
