This is basically the timeline/process I am looking at. Did you work through most of this? I build houses and I have no idea if I'm out of business for 5 or more months or if I should try and get a less demanding job.

So I did not work definitely couldn’t be on my feet for 10 hours a day. I am a manager and it’s a very physical job lots of heavy lifting all day and also I had a j tube for feeding because I couldn’t swallow my food. Did my feeding mostly over night but about 10 hours a day. Had j tube in for 7 months. Kept me going until I had my surgery. Scott

My spouse went through the same protocol. FLOT SURGERY MORE FLOT. He is 76 years old so no I am sure he would not have been able to work through the chemo esp post Op. however age plays a big role and type of work. I doubt you would be able to handle the post op chemo regimen and work full time. Btw. My husband is doing very well eating everything sleeping well of course he has lost about 30lbs all together but all in all is good. Clean CT last week he was stage 1B adenocarcinoma of GE juncture
