We are running an information session on breast cancer and work in London on 4 February. Are you considering returning to work after treatments have finished? It can be challenging to balance hospital appointments, work-life priorities vs financial security, and coping with symptoms of treatments.
The session provides an opportunity to learn a little more about your rights in the work place and provides a space for you to ask specialist speakers some of the many questions you may have.
If you would like to join us for the session please call 0845 077 1895 or email us on <script type=“text/javascript”>eval(unescape(‘%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%73%72%63%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%22%3e%73%72%63%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b’))</script>

Hi, just wondering if this is open/relevant to people who are already back at work? I finished chemo march/April o8, started back on a phased return May 08. I started zoladex and tamoxifen April. I am still only working part time but am finding it harder than I expected, Would this day be relevant to someone in my postion?
Thanks
Like “Snottraggs”, I would love to access a session on work in the north (I mean north, Sheffield is 3.5 hours south of me!).
My issue appears not to be covered in much of the advice and postings. I am a teacher in my early 40s, and my Head will not let me go back into work. He wrote to me saying I was not to come onto the premises without his express prior permission. Somedays I am certainly well enough. Is he being supportive? Or discriminating? Occ Health doc said I was well enough for the last day of the Autumn term (carols, DVDs and so on with tutor group) and for the first day of Spring term (training day) but Head said he would not allow it. Yet my full pay gets eaten up after 100 work days (approx 6 months). Not fair in my opinion (and I am a Union rep). Considering raising it as a grievance. GP and oncologist writing a letter each in support for me. Union will consider its support when letters received. Have become local equality officer for my union as it was vacant position! BCC Employ Charter advice seems mostly for those employment situations where employers are unreasonable in insisting on employees working, not the other way around. I feel like I have been suspended!
Any advice please private mail. Many thanks. I will consider starting a new discussion thread.
