I am lucky in that I was able to work all the way through my treatment, although with a modified schedule. I travel a lot for work so that was out, but I worked in my home office every day until treatment time and often did email and projects while in treatment. After treatment it depending on the day and my energy level if I kept going or shut it down for the day. 50-50 I'd say. I feel lucky because having that distraction to get my mind on other things than the treatment really helped the time go buy faster.
