I’m at the other end of the scale - I finish ten years of hormonal therapy next May, after a mastectomy, six months of chemo and a year of Herceptin. It seems to have gone rather quickly! A decision on continuing work depends so much on how you react to chemo - nausea and fatigue are common. Best to discuss some options. I didn’t have any bad reactions and preferred to work to keep things as normal as possible. Like @Kabee, I had a couple of wigs and while I told most of my immediate colleagues what was going on, many others had no idea. One of the things I discovered was, surprisingly, how adaptable you can become to circumstances you never imagined. While you will have lots of guidance on healing your body, look after your emotional health too. Do what makes you feel good as often as you can. Best wishes for the next steps.
