Can I keep working?

Many people do, some of the time. It depends on your treatment, how it affects you, and what your job asks of your body. It also changes across a cycle rather than staying the same.

Ask your team which days in your cycle are usually hardest, and plan around those rather than trying to be consistent. That single question changes more than any general advice.
