Next week I start chemo and radiation therapy.  As a single parent of three, I really need to continue to work as much as possible in order to provide for my children.  Short term disability only will pay 60% of my earnings. Has anyone had experience with trying to work while undergoing treatment?  Do you get too sick or tired to work?  The cancer care center is only a 20 minute drive from my place of employment.  The kind of work I do is on computers (GIS, SQL).  HockeyFan Mon, 03 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT A few more details - I live in the Seattle area ( the place to be if you get cancer! ) I'm female, and in excellent health except for the cancer.  Up until a couple of weeks before diagnosis, I had been trying to ride my bike 10 miles every other night.~ Lisa  HockeyFan Mon, 03 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT
