It depends on type of work, how she responds to treatments,when her treatments are, can she work on-line/home or does she need to be at the office. I was lucky and felt pretty good and did work...... maybe it averaged out to 60% or so. But I had a 140 mile round trip every day for treatments so that cut into my time. I was able to work from home some especially the last few weeks of Tx and 2 weeks post. Also at that point as I did not want to add another hour of driving time. I would expect best case she would only be able to work part time. Very few of us were able to do treatments and work full time. The key is to get plenty of rest and nutrition, then tackle work. I needed to work to keep my mind occupied.
