As others have said, how you respond to treatment can be very different than how others respond and it depends on what you have done (surgery, RT, and/or chemo).

I've had 4 surgeries over the years and took time off of work after each surgery (how long did vary), but did work PT for awhile before returning full time. I did not have chemo, but I had RT which hit me harder than most. I worked PT through most of my RT, but the last few days I was just too exhausted to do anything other than go to treatment. Radiation is cumulative and does hit you harder after you stop treatment, which it did in my case. I was on pain meds for months afterwards which did cause somewhat of a "chemo brain".

How you will react and what you will be able to do will vary with your treatment plan. Please let us know what your doctors recommend, and your OCF family will be able to help you get through your treatment with advice and support.

There is life after treatment, but it will be different at least for a while. Best wishes!
