Jen,

Below is a recently updated thread on the subject:

http://her2support.org/vbulletin/sho...ighlight=T-DM1

If you post on that thread, everyone who had posted ont it would be notified (unless they had chosen not to). The 'Her2' Board also gets more traffic and is more visible.

As for going back to work - usually you will need a doctor's note specifying that you can work. My neurosurgeon back in 1990 had written a note stating that I should work 2 hours a day first week, 4 hours a day next week (if I did well), ... 'depending on her condition'...

The benefit of returning work early is that you will be more active both physically and mentally besides the income and sick leave consideration. One of the 'cons' of going back to work 'too' early is that mistakes you happen to make might give people the wrong impression... With computers these days, you might check the possibility of working from home (telecommuting) first.
