I'm 15 months out and have to say my income is the same as it was before BC. I received chemo every two weeks so I would take the week of chemo off and work the following week. I was fortunate that disability took care of most of my time off. Other than that I worked and my employer was and is fantastic about my time off. I never miss a day now but sometimes still get very tired that I might leave a little early.
