It's lovely to read of a teacher with such enthusiasm for their job but are you sure you want to go back to work while on chemo? Apart from the very real risk of contracting some sort of infection, teaching can be a very demanding job both physically and mentally. I worked as a CRT for several years so I have some experience of it.
I remember how tired I was while on chemo - barely able to get out of bed on some days - and I really don't think I could have coped with working, especally not full-time. Personally I would wait until you've finished treatment but if you really miss it and are determined to go back why not see if you can negotiate some sort of part-time arrangment for a while. Hope it works out okay for you. Good luck. Janet.
