Hi there,
I teach preschool, and it just so happened that I got my AC in the summer when I was off. But I returned to work for during the rest of my treatments- 12 Taxol, 52 Herceptin, and rads. I had some reconstruction surgery done also. I missed 1 day that entire year to have a surgery. I was tired, but it really wasn't that bad. I also had three young boys at home, and all of their after school activities. It wasn't fun, but it was do-able, and I had alot of help that got me through.
Love, Kelly
