Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed with BC, mix ductal/lobular ER/PR positive. I had my first chemo 2 weeks ago, tomorrow I’ll have second. Doctors want to shrink my lumps before the surgery. I’ve been off work for past 2 weeks, I’m a bit tired, I have brain fog etc. I think I might be able to work on part time basis. However, I worry about the possible infections.
I’m working in one of the Scottish castles, my job involves lots of walking, standing, being outside a lot, talking to people outside and in the shop, some cleaning etc. I wonder if I should go back to work or stay away. I really can’t make my mind. I’m feeling okayish. I would appreciate any advice.
Hi, glad it's going ok so far. I worked flexibly during my chemo. I would have struggled with physical work more in the first week after each treatment, but I was much stronger in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the cycle. I guess it also depends how flexible your employer can be on a practical basis. Best wishes
