[quote=ChristineB]Whoa! A year or 2 off? That sounds a bit excessive. [/quote]
I agree, Christine. My brother was ready to go back to work after 6 months, but the medical department at his employer (he is an international airline pilot) won't let him back until he is at least 2 years post treatment because they have advice saying he won't go below a 1% risk of catastrophic brain incapacitation, due to metastasis, until the two year mark, so he's STILL not back at work! But I digress - as Christine says, everyone is different. Some on the list kept going to work all through treatment, but I would worry about being around lots of people and being vulnerable to catching any bugs due to reduced immunity.
