  • Hi  and welcome over to this corner of the community.

    Cancer treatments can indeed put our bodies through a lot and the recovery time can be far longer that you would hope or even imagine.

    Your question about work and being fit to continue work is actually very complicated and you would be best talking with one of our work and finance support team.

    So I recommended you call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available.

    All the best.
