Time off work
Hi Ladies,
Just wanting to know if any of you have managed to return to work in-between treatment cycles?
Or would it be more realistic to have the whole time off while on chemo and radiation?

Hi Jacquie
I was able to work from home some of the time towards the end of my chemo sessions and finished completely at the same time as my last session. I think this worked out quite well because I found radio very stressful and upsetting - not the story most women have to tell, however, I think one of the reasons I found it particularly bad was that my support fell away at the end of chemo and I was very much on my own. It has taken me a good 5 months after finishing radiotherapy to really get back on my feet because I reacted to the hormone therapy. I completely understand the stresses about finances and I basically have no money left, but my health is more important. Every woman I have spoken with has an opinion on whether or not to work and it's a very personal decision.
I wish you every best through your treatments. susie
