Angie:We are all different. I worked through all 7 weeks of my rad with 3 chemo treatments but needed 2 weeks off after treatment due to anemia and 25% weight loss. Just finished my neck dissection with upwards of 35 nodules removed and some other "suspicious" tissue and came home the day after surgery and have been working since then. I'm an outside salesman and talking can be a bear, but I use computer/fax a lot, also. Hope your brother? is good.Rgds, Kirk.
