Tim,
As they say eveyone is different. I wnet back to work 3 weeks after radiation (no chemo) but I have a desk job doing tech support on software. Doesn't require a lot of energy. I think it was good for my morale. Felt like I was going back to normal life. It was exhausting for a couple of weeks, but they fire you here if you are out more than 12 weeks in a 365 day period. I was saving last 4 for HBO if I needed it.

Second go round, I could have gone back earlier but decided to take 8 weeks just to relax and smell the roses. Work could wait. Then on the day I was supposed to go back, I tripped over chair in kitchen, flipped myslef in air and landed on hip fracturing pelvis in 3 places. That slowed me down for another 3 weeks.

I think everyone needs to do what their energy level allows them to do. I also think it helps the healing process to get out and do 'normal' things. Like Gail, we planned a trip to St Kitts to just chill out for the spring after my treatment. It di us both a world of good.

Take care,
Eileen
