Chemo isn't 'too bad' for everyone, 'if' you need to go down that road - everyone has different reactions. My hubby had it after his stomach cancer surgery - we just called it the 'good poison' that was mopping up any random escapees .... he had 50 lymph nodes checked & it was in 1 - so we couldn't take the chance of NOT having chemo. He just felt very tired after about day 3 & put himself to bed for 2 days ..... his hair thinned badly but didn't lose it completely ..... he had to stay out of the sun totally, as his skin was just too sensitive - and he continued to exercise throughout all his chemo treatments. He DID wear a beanie tho - as he went thru it in winter!
Yours may be a totally different mix of 'chemo' - maybe not as strong as some others? Only time will tell - and that is only IF you need to have it!!
Take it easy at work if you can afford to - your body is madly running around itself, healing itself from the surgery - and things are still hurting .... and you are not Superwoman! ;) Be kind to yourself xxxx If anyone offers to do things for you - let them! It is a Win Win situation! :)
Take care & all the best for your next meeting!! xx
