@Michelle_R I'm in the 'wait a while' camp.
Radiotherapy is really time consuming and a lot more tiring towards the end than I expected. I'd thought after all the slicing and dicing and poisoning, a bit of frying should be a doddle. It wasn't too bad and I drove myself to treatment (180km round trip) but I had a couple of weeks of burn management and that would have been terribly uncomfortable in a work setting.
I fully understand wanting to get back to normal, but I've also had experience of being royally pissed off at myself because I struggled more in the workplace than I'd expected. I get very disappointed in myself if my performance is sub par, and I hated making excuses for stupid mistakes. A bit more time would have given me a better chance of doing a decent job.
I did work right through my first treatment, but I was ten years younger and there is a lot to be said for keeping going rather then stopping and then trying to start again. Mxx
