Hi Tonya
I worked throughout chemotherapy with no problems - the main thing for me was flexibility. I'm a TAFE teacher and my onc recommended not teaching face-to-face to reduce risk of infection and so work put me on other programs. I was still in the office and coordinating classes/ programs but not teaching them.
I had chemo on a Monday, felt great until about Thursday/Friday and could work from home and then have the weekend. Generally the end of week 2 I'd feel pretty flat again and work from home. I ended up in hospital once but I think that was from my own kids being unwell LOL. Week 3 I was always fine. I didn't need to take much time off at all.
Good luck
