How long were you off work after treatment?

Hi all,

I just finished my radiation in July.  I had a left mx last November, chemo, the start of reconstructive surgery in April then rads starting in June.  I tolerated chemo pretty well but the rads got to me and I was nauseous and not feeling well and am still sore, not feeling great, fatigued and with extreme anxiety and stress.  I have an upcoming MRI and mammo on my other breast.  My oncs said I would be on disability for awhile so that I could recover.  About two weeks after I finished rads, my insurance company called me to let me know they closed my file and would send the last cheque.  They had not asked for any medical documentation, nothing.  Just a phone call to say that the 'norm' according to their 'table' is that I should be fine.  I am a hard worker and have had a great career but I don't feel ready to work.  Were any of you off for awhile after treatment or did the insurance company not find out how you were doing and just tossed you aside like me?
