Everyone has a different experience. However, chemo just sucks.
My wife went through it all and asked at the beginning: "Should I take off work?" To which my response was "You can be miserable and bored, or you can be miserable and busy. Your choice." Staying busy, at least, gets your mind off of it if you can swing it.
On the other hand, my wife sailed through radiation with nary a problem while the other folks around her had terrible problems.
Good luck. I hope you fare well.
- glonq 3y agoI'm hoping to keep busy and stay paid. Fingers X'd that I don't need to go on disability!
- Eldt 3y agoWere hobbies off the table?
- bsder 3y agoNot at all. If you'd rather do hobbies, you do you. However, I do find that most people don't have hobbies that they can spend 8+ hours a day on and remain happy doing them. I do, but that's not very typical. My wife loves her work and the people she works with. So, that was fine, too. Work also serves as a slight "forcing function" so that you kinda have to get up and do something even if you're a little not up for it while you would just blow off a hobby. It's all about whatever keeps you going.
