Post Radiation Recovery
Just after some feedback: how long after ceasing radiation would you take off work if you have the option? In other words, how bad/how long does the most uncomfortable symptoms last? FYI I'm 6 treat...
I had my radiation a few years ago but I didn’t work during my treatment and for a few weeks after. I was the Manager at work and felt really vulnerable about going back to work and feeling in control of my emotions. I had wound breakdown as well. I went back on light duties and part-time for a month or so then took 6 weeks long service. My husband and I went away on a road trip to reconnect and fir me to heal and then I went back to work with a clearer head. I was fortunate to be able to do that I I didn’t fully appreciate the way that BC affected my confidence.
