A member asked:
Hoping you can tell me, is cancer diagnosis along with chemo a reason to go on disability leave from work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on therapy: This would depend on the type of cancer, and the type of treatment. If it is one that required surgery and some healing time, then certainly one needs some time off. Also, it it requires chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, one may feel tired and may require some time off. Also, don't forget that chemotherapy has its side effects and may require frequent visits with the oncologist.
