Thank you, I'm returning in 2 weeks and doing full-time but my manager is giving me a light load. I'm with you I need something other than cancer to think of, plus I can't afford to stay on short-term disability.
I had a lobectomy of my RUL March 9, 2022. Margins not clean so I started chemo & radiation mid-April, 2022 until July, 2022. Met with onco in August and I was eligible for immunotherapy every three weeks for one year starting September, 2022. I have two more infusions after today. I was off work from March 9, 2022 (surgery) until November, 2022 when I returned to work part time. Went back to 30 hours a week in December, 2022. Still absolutely dragging when I work my six-hour day BUT it feels amazing to be a part of something other than cancer! Take care and stay positive! Sue
One individual returned to work in January 2023 after their lung cancer treatment. They transferred to a different department, moving to an office environment desk job in the same casino, as they could no longer perform the physical duties of their previous role as a security manager.

Hey AprilN: I had a lobectomy and chemo. .(2017) I returned to work 6 mts after my treatment stopped. I was still bald but I wore a hat. Working with elderly (90's) in home health. I was a housekeeper. I enjoyed hearing people stores. I also needed the money. So I continued for two years before I needed oxygen 24/7. Also covid hit. So I quit working and have been homebound since. Everyone's story is different. So I try to keep gratitude in my life everyday. I'm 78 years old. My lung cancer is stable.
