Being diagnosed with cancer is one of the most difficult situations anyone has to face. It can affect all areas of your life, including work.
About 750,000 people are working with cancer in the UK. These numbers are increasing as more people with cancer are cured or living with cancer for longer.
Some people carry on working during treatment. After treatment, most people want to go back to work when they feel ready and able. It can give you a sense of purpose and make you feel better about yourself. Going back to work may be challenging but it can also help with your recovery.
Our Work Support Team have created a new blog called Cancer’s not fair but your boss has to be to make sure you’re getting the information and support you need. They are here to offer guidance and advice about work issues ranging from: telling your employer about your diagnosis, returning to work and reasonable adjustments, phased returns, redundancy, discrimination, looking for work and more.
Check out their first blog post and let us know what you think.
