I moved 1/2 was accross the country to move home from my job when i got sick...if i was working for the same group of people i think i would've done every other week. i was lucky enough to qualify for SS disability though and not have to work. Not that it covers all my medical bills esp. since i have to live with my parents to get by! your job sounds a lot like the one i had. i was a training supervisor for borders so i'd train new employees about 1/2 the time then the other 1/2 doing office work or supervising the floor. if you have flexability to do your office work on chemo week and do presentations on your good weeks that would probably be ideal.
i would definetly ask you employer how you can work with them. you probably can't avoid treatment days for taking time off for that. explain to your employer that you may need to adjust your schedule since you don't know how your body is going to tolerate stuff while working.
there was a lady who was working full time as a nurse that did her chemo every 3 weeks instead of the typical 2 weeks. it just too her longer to recover from the fatique. so you can also work with your Onco.
