Are you thinking about staying at work or going back to work after being diagnosed with or treated for cancer?
Returning to work following cancer is a very important decision. With proper planning, you may avoid some challenges.
The Cancer and Work website is collaboratively built using the knowledge from cancer survivors, healthcare providers, vocational rehabilitation specialists, human resources professionals, and other experts.
While the focus of the website is on returning to work after treatment and recovery, many of the ideas can also help cancer patients who want to stay at work during this period. This website also includes ideas for cancer survivors who may not be working when they are diagnosed, or who may want or need to change jobs.
