Returning to work
Interestingly 43% of the participants surveyed about going back to work reported a deterioration of work life following cancer and only 15% reported being treated unfairly.
I never resigned when...

Good luck for next week.It's not easy going back to work after having alot of time off for treatments.Although I'd been at my workplace for 16 years,I got overlooked for many opportunities and advancements.I went through a period of 7 years having time off for 2 bouts of breast cancer and 3 surgeries on a broken ankle.I used my sick leave and long service.My work place was very supportive but at the same time,stuck me in a job nobody else wanted.I guess I was grateful at the time that I had a job to return to but after awhile I wanted to leave.I was lucky that financially,I could retire early at 56 -so I did. I know how you feel Bel and it's not fair but take the hours you are offerred.Build your mojo back up and remind your boss what a valuable asset you are to his business.Sending hugs,Tonya xx
