Pete went back to work on Monday (3/1). He's still taking the daily oral chemo, of course, and is scheduled for infusion Tues, Wed and Thurs next week. He set up his work schedule so that 2 of those days will be his non-work days and 2 will be vacation days. He needs that full day after 3rd day of chemo to recover.
He's done 2 full days of work and so far things seem to be going pretty well. He had a fierce headache Monday morning when he woke up, but took some meds and it eased enough by the time he had to leave for work. I wonder if it could have been triggered by the stress of going back to work.
He'll work today and tomorrow then he'll be off Friday because he has an MRI of his head scheduled, and then finish up the 5th day of work on Saturday. Putting in a 40 hr week of work after all that he's been through in the past several months will be a milestone for him.
With all that he's dealing with, why did he go back to work? To maintain his insurance coverage. He just got the EOB on his radiation treatments a few weeks ago. Over $90,000!
