How do you work

Hello

i wanted some advice about working.

I am on the sick at the moment(I was made redundant just before I found out I had cancer) I did a temporary job up until I started my treatment. I finished my treatment 14 weeks ago and I am in remission but I am struggling due to the after effects, I can't sit for long periods of time as I get uncomfortable and the pain is only just being managed, I am really stressing now about how I will work like this, I would love some advice, thank Jo

  • Hello Jo,

    I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing as you consider returning to work after your cancer treatment. It's understandable that you're feeling stressed and uncertain about how to manage the discomfort.

    There are other members here who have gone back to work after their cancer treatment and I'm hoping some of them will be along shortly to give you advice on this matter.

    Additionally, it would be beneficial to have a conversation with your medical team and discuss your concerns about returning to work. They can provide medical advice and guidance tailored to your specific circumstances. They may be able to suggest strategies to help make things easier, such as implementing regular breaks and using ergonomic equipment that can make your work environment more comfortable.

    Wishing you the best as you navigate this process.

    Take care,
