I did DD AC+T+H... worked full time through it all.
During the ACT time, I would do OK the day of, the day after, and then WHAM !!! the third day was spent in bed and the fourth in bed as well. I always felt much better the 5th day and would go to work. Even with the cumulative effects of DD, I was surprised at how well I did.
At the time I had a 3 and 6 yr old and a full time job. All of them survived...
I always scheduled the chemo on a Thursday afternoon after lunch knowing the Friday would be OK and also knowing that the Sat and Sun I would be in bed.
You will find your rhythm --- it really is doable and all the meds you get really help with nausea. I can't say I recall much of my job realted duties, but apparently got it done since I am still at my same job. My biggest discomfort was constipation... I never got a real good handle on constipation- so be careful.
By the way, I had a pediatric port inserted- it was perfect for me and barely showed under the skin. I am not a small person either !!!
Best to you !
