Hi Lacie

I was diagnosed with non  Hodgkin lymphoma in March and have have to stop working as a teaching assistant in a special needs school because of the likely event I could pick some bug up whilst my immune system is low. I'm so bored and miss my job terribly. I'm supposed to avoid crowds and just basically stay home. Hate this!!

Hi Cathy,

My dog got lots of crowd avoiding walks when I was on chemo - I’d have gone stir crazy without her! That, binge-watching box sets and reading the whole GOT septology helped pass the time :-) 

Good luck!

Hi Cathy

May have been mad but I kept working when I wasn't being sick i worked in a factory metal fabrication and welding muck and dust everywhere i was fine if any customers came in coughing or anything i kept out of the way but apart from that aok i had a few sickey doos middle of treatment. Good luck.

Hi everyone 

am due to start chemo for breast cancer next week . Been hoping to continue working through it but not sure how practical  that is going to be due to possible side effects . Would love to hear from others about how sick and how tired it makes u feel

Hi rebel it varies with individual people some are OK all way through others really cannot do much but stop in bed until you start treatment you won't know results but good luck anyway. Billy

P.s beware of anyone ill even a cold 

Hi Billygoat
