I agree with Jeff. Stay as active as you can. I worked through out the treatment except for the surgery. Scheduled rad tx on my lunch breaks. Lunch was easy with the feeding tube....turn in my cubicle, pull it out, and throw down the liquids. Dr. thought I was crazy, but he followed my wishes and I was traveling the week after the neck dissection...staples still in place. Hard part was the month I couldn't talk at the end of them nuking me....but I was still productive and my coworkers were happy I was quiet. smile

Keep moving...
