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...

I think the 43% figure could depend on all sorts of factors--for me so far ive had 4 days off work and now missing and taking an hour or so off as sick leave for radiation; so the impact on my work has been limited. My role has been in tact; however when i thought i was having chemotherapy i thought there is no way i could continue to work and miss one or two weeks every month; i would have to take six months off leave without pay; which is not automatically granted anyway. Im not one to 'power on' and try to juggle all sorts of things so this didnt appeal to me anyway!
