Working while having chemotherapy

Hi everyone

Just wondering who has continued to work while having chemotherapy I work in a low secure hospital for people with challenging behaviours and financially I could really do with carrying on working, plus I know I'm going to be completely and utterly bored out of mind if I'm not at work, as I have already had to temporarily stop my children's nursing degree.

Thanks Lacie
