I am a CPA and own my practice so I was fortunate that I could arrange my office so I could take off when I needed to and I think (5 years ago?) that I stopped working in the office around week 5 or so of Tx. I tried working from my home computer linked to my office but that didn't last too long. Even when I was in the office I had to arrive late since my rad was at Moffitt at 8:30 am and 45 miles away. I returned back to work many weeks ( hard to remember but I was a real sick puppy until week 3 post Tx) post Tx and only for a few hours a day at first but within no time I was back to 12-15 hour days and loving it!

My advice to you is to plan for not being able to work at some point but continue to work until you can't. Your body will tell you when it's time to stop and when it's time to slowly start back. FYI the typical worse time of Tx is usually from about week 5 thru week 3 POST Tx with the time post Tx usually our worse of the worse. Now that's not cast in stone but I think that describes the majority of us.

You will be glad you found this site and we encourage you to use it as often as you wish. That's what it's here for.
