Work

Hello

I was diagnosed with DCIS last year, following a mastectomy and reconstruction last September they found a bit of cancer. I returned to work in November. I have a few appointments coming up and my hr manager wants me to make the time up. I work as a cleaner, I'm getting a lot of pain in my reconstructed boob. I have offered to take the day off unpaid, but she still wants me to make the time up. How do I approach my boss about getting the point across that I can't do the extra hours. I don't want to go on sick.

  • There is also a section on work on this website; I have just found it.  I was going to see if I could copy it onto this forum but I find I am going to have to change my computer's security and to be honest I am falling asleep so I hope that one of the moderators will create a link for you in the morning.  The way I found it was by clicking on About Cancer (just above this forum) then Coping With Cancer, then Coping Practically, then Disability & Discrimination Act and then Your Work.

    Have a good night!
