Does anyone carry on working in some form while taken Capecitabine?

Hello

Im a step behind you so haven't started oral chemo yet as I have radiation to go first but wanted to say I worked through all of my IV chemo. I've been working from home though and I've been really lucky with my side effects. I think as long as you don't come into contact with lots of people, and feel well enough then you are fine to work. I know we still have to have our bloods taken for each cycle so have the same risks and challenges as we did for IV chemo. 

I hope you get on well when you start at the end of Feb!

1. Thanks for your reply.  It is pleased to know that it is possible to work at home.  We'll done you able to work during IV chemo.  8 started feeling very tired on cycle 5 and 6.  All the best and good luck to your treatment.

hi

i thought i had respoinded to tis ealrier but it disappeared. 

i had 2 cycles of capecitabine and was able to work from home throughout. i'm now on IV chemo and while im managing to find good days to work in the days after treatment, for me it hasnt been as easy as the capecitabine.

good luck.

Hi, I had IV chemo and worked throughout, mostly from home and I did have flexibility to take it a bit easier on tougher days, but I never had a day that I didn’t do some work. Hope this helps 

Many thanks for your reply.  I feel more confidence now.  

Thank you for your reply.
