Workforce Discrimination for People with Cancer

Hi Karen , This recently happened with me , I had a breast reconstruction in 2012 which was very complicated and last minute failed in May 2013 and had to have a lat dorsi on my right which led me with more complications and significant loss of range of movement and complex regional pain syndrome . I was discussing return to work in April this year but needed further tests investigations and rehab to gain movement . My workplace sent me a letter late June saying if I did not return within 2 weeks on a return to work plan they would terminate . My GP didn't like the plan they wanted so they send me a letter one week later giving me 4 days notice to terminate and they did . There behaviour was disgusting especially because they knew my issues . I've lodged unfair dismissal and am looking at claiming my TPD insurance through super .
