Hi all well here i am a newbe with cancer stage 2 isolated bladder cancer .
It took 13 months to get this far ans by pure luck from a doctor i saw in a differant location at a hospital..
I have had the treatment with the lazer ..sorry forgot. Technical name with biopsy four times that dis not work that lead to find out I'm on stage 2.
Just had the 6 week course with BCG TB into bladder
One day had to go to work in the same day told of issue but bullied onto working so with the side effect migraine diarrhea abdomen pains just had to cope.
Its been hard feeling tired all the time which seems to annoy the manager for not moving at the speed he wants been call lazy ect..

Hi TheresaD and welcome to the group although sorry to hear you are having problems with your employer. There are defined laws against discrimination of cancer patients at work. Could I suggest you call the Mac support line on 0808 808 0000 (open till 8pm, 7 days). There are experts on hand to help with employment rights and you should find them friendly and helpful. Mac has also produced information HERE . Best wishes.
Hello TheresaD, I was retired by 2018 when I was diagnosed with cancer. Therefore employment issues did not affect me. I concur with Rily and urge you to follow his advice. Do you belong to a trade union? They should be able to assist you. Hope you get a resolution soon. Garviv
