I am sorry to hear that you require chemotherapy as part of your cancer treatment.
Chemotherapy can affect each individual differently. Some people do manage to keep working whilst having chemotherapy.
You may find it helpful to read our webpage on the possible side effects of chemotherapy
The main issues you may encounter are fatigue and increased risk of infections. Maybe you could speak to your employer about how you can manage these whilst still working.
I hope you find this information helpful in guiding your decision-making process.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
