Can you keep working full-time while going through cancer treatment? And what happens when the fatigue becomes more than simply feeling tired?

I'm still working while undergoing radiation therapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced prostate cancer. But working through treatment has required some changes I never anticipated.

In this episode of Jonesing For The Journey, I share what cancer-related fatigue really feels like during a workday—from the bone-deep exhaustion after radiation to the brain fog that can make even familiar tasks challenging.

I also share the three adjustments that have helped me continue working:

1. Organizing my workday around treatment and energy levels.

2. Being honest about my limitations before they become bigger problems.

3. Letting go of the pressure to prove I can still work exactly as I did before cancer.

I talk about the support I've received from my employer, the importance of communicating with your boss, and why needing flexibility or stepping away from work should never be mistaken for failure.

This isn't about being tough. It's about giving yourself permission to adapt.

Whether you're navigating cancer treatment while working, supporting an employee or coworker, or caring for someone facing these challenges, I hope my experience offers some perspective and encouragement.

This is my personal experience, not medical or employment advice. Everyone's treatment, circumstances, and ability to work are different.
