I had to give up. There's only so many times I could put up with being told off for being ill. Or being told that they'd made adjustments for me, so why am I still ill?

NHS admin. I work 24 hours per week and had to fight my arse off for permission to work one day from home per week.

I have chemo every three weeks and work on a supermarket checkout. I work four hour shifts on the days after chemo, it’s hellish but I’m getting on with it. I work six hour shifts on my two good weeks.
