Chemotherapy and Working
A little bit about me I work at a primary school and employed to work with children in a small group setting and a number of people are quite concerned about me working during chemotherapy treatmen...

Aaah! @KyzaD69 it is difficult, I planned my work out as the Oncologist said I could do, which was my 1st week I wouldnt be able to work then the following 2 Id be ok, then begin again. This was 4 infusions of FEC then 10 of Taxol weekly. I didnt do well with FEC so by the 2nd month I was out for like 10 days then back a week then off again. By the 4th infusion I had to concede my plans were turned upside down and I had to let go. That was SO HARD!!! my job was incredibly demanding dealing with ASD students with violent behaviours etc., at that time.
I really think just be honest with them see how you go your first month and if no good just pull the pin. Vicsuper also have an inbuilt component of income protection too. Happy to chat about that if you need. I went on that for 2yrs, post chemo worked only 3 days and built back up, they also supplied me with an Exercise Physiologist but they wanted to get a cleaner, gardener anything I wanted. Its not a full wage but it helped. x
