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?

I worked 4 days a week during my first chemo block (4xAC every 3 weeks). I then dropped down to 3 days when I started Taxol/herceptin weekly for 12 weeks. I had treatment on a Friday and also had Mon off. That worked well and I found I was not too tired. When I started the year having radiotherapy I worked full time and mangaged pretty well. I too miss the interaction and I'm convinced that this is what got me through. The support of these people I see regularly has been fantastic. ( being a teacher helps! Regular holidays etc.)Everyone is different though. I'm sure you will make the decision that is right for you.
Good luck with your treatment. I'll be thinking of you.
