Full-time work

I have been finished with treatments - chemo & radiation since January 08. I have been working on-call (when I want to). I would like to work full-time again but would like feedback from others on how you are doing working full-time since treatments. |

I was fortunate in that I was able to work a couple of hours a day through my tx. About midway through my tx. I got really sick (the Docs suspended my tx. for seven days) and was not able to work at all. When we started back in tx., I went back to working a couple of hours a day. I went back to working full time the week following my last tx. I had 56 radiation treatments (2 a day) and chemo (cisplatin) weekly. I finished my last tx. mid August 2007. We all heal at different rates. I was very fortunate that I recovered as quickly as I did.

My last treatment was 3/28/07 and I went back to work full time 6/01/07. I had lost alot of weight which made me feel some better but was still weak as a kitten. I could no longer lift water heaters into the back of my truck and things like that. I have been getting stronger as time passes but felt I needed to step things up a bit and have started working out in our weightroom here at work and feel MUCH better now, lighter and stronger.
