If you go to the menu bar and select "my stuff" then "profile" and scroll down to the bottom where it says "signature" and you can put details about your type of cancer and treatment.
If you are doing radiation and chemo...the 2-3 weeks post treatment can be very difficult. Your focus has to be on hydration, calories, protein and the proper pain and anti nausea meds.
Beyond that, every one recovers at their own rate. My husband finished treatment in August but wasn't able to return to work until March because his job required a lot of travel. I think many people return earlier than that if they have a job that involves more computer or desk work than travel.
If you could post more details about your treatment, others who have been on the same path could probably provide more information.
