Wayne,

I had an office job (with some out-of-town travel involved) at the time of my diagnosis. I was out of work for a couple of weeks after my partial glossectomy and neck dissection, and then went back on at least a part-time basis throughout radiation. When I started to feel really worn down in the middle and latter stages of radiation, I would adjust my office hours accordingly, and I pretty much cut out as much travel as I could until I could get back some strength.

Like Eileen, I felt that keeping up some of my regular routine was important for my morale -- it gave me less time to think about the nasty side effects of treatment.
