I was diagnosed with cancer in late 2012 but was ineligible for US FMLA because I had only been at my job for 6 months. I muddled through the chemo fog and tried to work as I was able, but honestly it was pretty awful and I used a lot of PTO (combined with sick time). My at-the-time girlfriend was on leave from her job so we made it work. My mother was able to visit a few times too (we were on the other side of the country from family).

I don't know what I'd do in your situation, other than hope my employer was understanding and accepting that I would not be 100% for awhile. I'm very sorry you're having to go through this.
