Hi everyone and hope you are ok
I’m due to start chemotherapy next week - anyone else?
Had mastectomy on July and this is ‘adjuvant’?
I’m nervous and sad and lots of other emotions!
Why is it you can't work? Is it nature of your job? I was fortunate I was able to work throughout from home and was well enough to do so. And my oncologist supported it on condition it was from home
I was told firm no when I enquired but will see how I go. Hopefully won’t feel too bad x
It does depend on your job. I'm fortunate I have worked from home to a certain degree ever since lockdown. So I had everything set up. It was left very much up to me how much I worked with no pressure at all from my managers
It does, I work in retail, so only work my goo week, however I am being made redundant on Friday so all being well after chemo Wednesday hoping ok to do last 2 days to shut down the shop.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
