Hi All
I had invasive lobular cancer stage 2, diagnosed 4/12/14. Had WLE and Radiotherapy, followed by Letrozole which is giving me as many side effects as it can.
I’m so frightened of ATOS (or whichever body it is now) saying that I am capable of work. I don’t feel capable at all. I have sweats, flushes, bone pain and a brain full of fluff. ATOS wrote to me a few months ago to say I would have to go for an assessment. What on earth do I tell them?
Maybe I’ll have to come off my treatment just to satisfy them in their unquenchable desire to get people off benefits.
Help!

Hello,
I have not been on any benifits, but having met ladies at the Penny Brohn centre rhey spoke highly of the help received from advisers at Maggies centres, from Macmillan and this site. Speak with them all, gather advice.
Good luck,

Im not sure was atos is but have been receiving earnings support allowance since April when I was made redundant and could claim statutory sick pay. They send a 26+ page form but you fill in first page - do you have cancer? Yes - please sign declaration on page 26!! Also have to get doc or BCN to complete. They said I can’t work for 6-12 months. No further questions asked! Good luck.
