Its been a week since I completed treatment and I am strongly considering going back to work in another week. I work in an office environment and manage 12 employees and if need be I can work from home or leave early. The doctors tell me I can return whenever I feel strong enough, so far I been able to do short rides (bicycles) and workouts at the gym. Before moving forward I am interested in knowing what others have experience when returning to their jobs and lessons learn.
