Re: Ability to work while under treatment

Thank you Kate. Your response was helpful. I start treatment on Friday. I don't know the exact treatment schedule yet but I do know there is a lot to consider. They did suggest taking a week off to monitor side effects which I will do next week. It would be different if I could set my owhours or work a varied schedule but school is in session the same time every day. Just being tired and without treatment, it has been hard to keep up the working mom schedule. (Up at 4:30 and on the go until kids are in the bed at night and even then I'm still up doing housework, lesson plans, etc) my husband has all of a sudden stopped being supportive and seems resentful. He wants me to keep working. I'm feeling a little stuck but I decided after next week if I don't feel we'll or can't handle it, I will take time off...he will just have to deal with it.
