I had a single mastectomy, with expander 6 weeks ago. I was told originally it would be 6 to 8 weeks off work, but that was when they said there’d likely be no further treatment as it was thought to only be DCIS. Pathology results showed DCIS plus a small cancer (which is a recurrence), which was ER & HER2 positive. I’m currently waiting for an oncology appointment and don’t know what treatment I’ll be offered.
I do an admin job, which is ultra busy in the summer months, and does involve nights away (I stay in a hostel, which I’m not looking forward to going back to).
I just don’t know when to say I’m ok to go back gradually. Do I go back now or wait until after my oncology appointment? I know this is an individual thing, but just wondering what others have done about returning to work.
