Am I the only one who is struggling with how to juggle work and post-surgery treatment?
I’m a 30-something diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer, tumor over 5cm and in two lymph nodes. After surgery (mastectomy with reconstruction) and I go in to the surgeon, and I’m getting info on everything that has to be done.
I’ve got reconstruction, at least 9 enhertu infusions that have to be done every three weeks—I did enhertu already and the nausea sucks for me—and radiation M-F for three or four weeks… I thought I was going back to work and now I’m wondering how the hell I’m supposed to do that with all the appointments and the side effects that will be waiting for me. My FMLA is gone from NA treatment and surgery. HR at work isn’t going to help me, my onc and surgeon and plastic surgeon don’t have resources to explain how I’m supposed to navigate this... or what the rules are with ADA, etc.
Has anyone else run into this or is it just me?
