Working during treatment

Welcome to BCNA, although for your sake, I wish you did not need to be here! As you say everyone is different and many people do manage to work through Chemo, if you have to have it. It is very hard at the beginning of this journey to stop yourself from worrying about how everything is going work out. There is so much you do not know and you maybe worrying about things you do not need to. Try to take it one step at a time. There will be a lot of waiting in the beginng, waiting for appointments and waiting for results. It is hard to make plans until you have your treatment plan. There is nothing you can achieve by trying to get too far ahead of yourself with worrying about what may or may not be going to happen. Your family need and will want you to do what you have to to get well again. That needs to be everyone's priority and everything else will work itself out as you go along. You will find support from many people on here to help with individual issues as they arise. 9 times out of 10 someone else will have faced a similar situation. For now, just keep busy and don't think too far ahead. Deal with each step as it comes and as you find out more. It may not be too bad and you might be wasting energy on issues that never happen. Be gentle on yourself and you will find a way through this. I hope that it helps to know that you can find support here and that others have been through this and are now well and living full lives again. This is just a detour that you need to slow down for and you will get back on the highway when it is safe to do so. Wishing you lots of luck and please look after yourself. When you know a bit more, we will be here to answer your questions and support you in any way we can. Deanne xxoo
