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

  • 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!!

    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
