Hello, Valerie.

I too, had rad and chemo following surgery. I was fortunate in that my husband drove me to all appts., but I could easily have done it myself for the first four weeks. Then, although I did not experience any nausea, I was very tired. My mouth was sore so all feeding was via PEG, and toward the end I had the thick mucous and was on some serious pain meds for burns, which would have made me not the best driver on the road.

Living with a strong minded husband (understatement), I would urge you to go back to work for at least three weeks. It will do you good to return to routine, and it will help him also to be able to do things himself. There will come a time when your help is needed, but I suspect it will be good let your husband do what he can while he can.

I don't pretend to understand the male ego, but I have learned to work around it (grin).
