I feel so unfairly fortunate when I read your stories. I had a supportive work place (bottom to top), side effects were not too bad except one, and the bad time with that was quite limited. I worked through, and am still working at 71. My other plus was that my age I could have retired (if absolutely necessary) at any time post diagnosis with my super intact. I agree with Share - work is a complex thing. It provides financial rewards but it's also a lot about who we are. I agree about quality over quantity, but this raises bloody hard decisions. This is a whole big conversation that needs to be had - I'll join in with anyone who knows where it may be best directed. Whatever mysteries remain about how cancer starts, we are unquestionably getting better at treating it. People live longer, with or without cancer and want to continue a normal life as far as possible. I fear Zoffiel is right - too much window dressing about diversity and disability.
