Hi, I haven't got much experience in chemo as just at the start of my cancer journey.

Take each day as it comes-have you got a close

colleage you could tell in private?? 

If you start to struggle then you need to let on for your work to maybe be covered.

Stepping back to concentrate on your health is not a failure- work will be there for when you return.

Whatever you decide it's your call.

Best wishes

Thanks Efffie, some really good advice. x

Hi. 
 

I've done 4 x AC chemos and 11 weekly taxols and have worked from home. I take the morning of chemo off to get my infusion. I've no real side effects except a headache and a bit of tiredness. 
 

wishing you all the best x 

Thank you so much for replying, your experience sounds really encouraging. I'm trying to figure out what I say to work re my chemo work pattern and it really feels like stepping into the unknown as I guess I won't know until I start. X

Hi I told everyone when I was diagnosed with cancer never had a problem especially with work . My boss said just come in when you feel ok ,i was working at metal fabrication and welding firm before covid .

I had monthly chemo sessions normally okay for about a week either side of treatment . Then problems other two weeks in middle.

Side effects can vary very much even same chemotherapy to different people can be completely different.

Easiest thing is just say you are having treatment for cancer and don't know how you will be while on treatment ,.  Remember you are officially classed as disabled now so any problems and you have new rules .. hope things go smoothly and low side effects.

Take care keep positive.
