It is generally not recommended to go to work during cancer chemotherapy because chemotherapeutic drugs have some side effects, such as myelosuppression, which can result in lower white blood cells and thrombocytopenia after chemotherapy. If there is a severe decrease in white blood cells, there exists a high chance of infection in the patient, and going to work will aggravate the chance of infection. Chemotherapy drugs can have gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. The occurrence of these side effects can affect the efficiency of going to work. Some chemotherapeutic drugs may cause neurotoxic symptoms, such as numbness in the limbs. These can affect the efficiency of going to work, so it is not recommended to go to work during chemotherapy.
