Hi Jensen, i stopped working from the time my treatment started and that is also 6 months. I know some ladies continue to work but i couldnt see myself doing that with a stressful job. As you said the immune system is also affected and the last thing you want is to get sick yourself.
I was sick last week with a virus and high temperature, not sure how i got it and ended up being in hospital for 3 nights and put my chemo off for the week.
Being a sole breadwinner can have its challenges, remember to allow yourself couple of days to rest after chemo and take it easy from then on.
My bc is 3.4cm and lymph nodes involved, started with chemo to shrink it, followed by op and 6 weeks of radiation
Good luck to you and take care..
