Work from Rads

I worked during radiation and went straight to work afterwards.

I had external beam radiation, so there was no chance of side effects to co-workers.  I'd worked through chemo before the radiation, so everyone was aware of  what was going on -- the turbans were a definite tipoff

The only odd bit was when a top I was wearing slid over the area of the supercalvical radiation and one of the mangers asked if someone had been beating up on me.  I just told him no, it's just a radiation burn.

 What you do or don't tell your co-workers is totally your decsion.   The radiation nurses should be able to answer any questions for you.  The ones I met are real gems.

 Good luck.

I scheduled my treatment in the morning, went to work, and then right after work went to the gym to work out, swim, cycle, lift weights.  I wanted to keep my muscles limber and I very much wanted to stay fit.  I did experience radiation fatigue.  Naps and resting did not help, but the exercise made me feel alive and added to my sense of well-being.  Resting was frustrating and a waste of time, but that's just my personality.  You'll know what you need.  Good luck to you.
