        I agree with kcmtnbiker on what was posted.  I am currenlty on treatment  19 of 26 bi weekly opdivo and have not had this impact my work schedule too much. I have tried to schedule my treatments early in the morning where I could make it to work by noon or 1pm.  I have found that if I am mentally and physically active at work the day of treatment I am able to tolerate it a little better and I bounce back quicker. Some B12 drops help boost your energy through the day on treatment days and dont be afraid to be in bed by 6 or 7pm that day.  There have only been one or two days where I am not motivated to do that and I stay home, the key is to listen to your body.  There is hope and always keep pushing forward!
