I was off work for four months. When I did go back to work, my company allowed me to work partial days. It made a huge difference both physically and emotionally to return to my job.

It took a good year before I felt anything close to normal.I'm now almost two years out of treatment and I feel as though I have regained all of my energy. I've managed to gain about 20 lbs. Since my treatment. In many ways I'm a lot healthier than I was pre-cancer. I eat soft foods still, so you can't put snack foods of junk foods in the old food processor.
