Time off work

Hi I have just finished 4 three weekly cycles of AC and am about to start 12 weekly cycles of Taxol this Thursday. I am a preschool teacher working with 15 two year olds. My oncologist told me no work or visits to work till after radiation when she will review how I am travelling. The risk of infection is too high working with young children. I worked right up untill the day before my bilateral masectomy in November. I won't be finished my treatment till September. As a single mum of 3 I have found the stress of worrying about finances very difficult. I work for a charity that luckily pays for income protection insurance for employees but had a 90 day waiting period and pays a % of my normal wage which I am thankful for. I'm finding I'm not spending much when I'm sick at home :) Emotionally I have found it really hard to be away from my little ones. I love my job and really miss my babies. I often feel guilty being at home and when I'm feeling well have difficulty filling in my days. I had a challenging time with my AC chemo and doubt if I was able to that there would of been many days I would of felt well enough to work an 8 hour day. Goodluck with your treatment... Be kind to yourself and rest when you need to. Mel
