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.

  • Hi there ... well you got some good advice from annieliz... l didn't know about rights at work for those going through this journey of ours .. so please fight in your corner,  and those bosses of yours have probably never had a loved one going through this ... I'm a breast cancer buddy too, and can just imagine how hard it is doing more then your body tells you ...

    If you call McMillan, they have people there to help you get benefits while going through cancer ... at least that will help you financially.. l wish you were in a position to tell them to shove their job ... l feel very sorry for boss... it must be so hard having no heart ... no compation... but without people like that, we wouldn't appreciate lovely people a ...
