Étape 8 sur 10 pour vous préparer à retourner au travail
Pendant la période hors du travail, certains survivants du cancer peuvent perdre leur conditionnement et leurs habitudes de travail. En étant simplement en arrêt de travail, les sensations de fatigue sont courantes après le premier retour au travail. Obtenir des conseils en temps opportun de la part de votre fournisseur de soins de santé qui se concentrent sur la façon de gérer vos symptômes au travail tels que la fatigue et le sommeil peut vous aider à faciliter votre retour au travail. Lorsque vous vous préparez, pratiquez vos routines de travail, comme vous réveiller comme vous le feriez normalement pour le travail, essayer (si cela est sécuritaire et autorisé par votre fournisseur de soins de santé) une simulation de travail et vous préparer aux temps de trajet. Discutez avec les membres de votre famille des nouvelles limites potentielles de votre temps et de votre énergie au début de votre retour au travail et de la manière dont ils peuvent vous soutenir.
