Radiation Therapy
Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this fabulous network :) I am hoping some of you can share your own experiences to give me a feel of what I may have in stall for me.
I am to go through radi...
I am sort of the middle here; i liked being able to work as i found it useful to have life continue as is and enjoyed being able to concentrate on issues other than my own--so i think you can probably work whilst having radiation but easy for me as 20 mins on bus and 10 mins to work on a bus..but i work 3-4 days pw but it is a bit surreal having radiation and then going off to work..however it became routine. Depends on the work --i found i am able to do slightly less workload which supported the whole work/treatment issue and would do this to support other colleagues
Build in a bit of flexibility is a good idea; as you never know you are going to go and so work being a bit supportive-ie dont minimalise the whole thing--whilst not overdoing it -one of my managers said 'if i survive radiation'' which is probably not helpful either!
