Protect Your Heart During Cancer Treatment
Talk to your health care provider about your plans to work or not work. Your health care provider will best be able to advise you on your specific treatment plan and possible side effects that might affect your ability to work. Your health care provider may also want you to limit some of your activities. Some people work their usual full-time schedules. Others need a less demanding schedule, like taking extra days off or even working part time for a while. The willingness and ability of your workplace to accommodate any special needs you might have will affect your success at working during treatment. Talk with your employer about what you might need at this time.
