Hi Dawn i can work as many or little days as I feel happy with, they have not said anything about the consecutive days, and I will still get the SSP, I've had this in writing as well. i started back this Tuesday and Thursday on half days, first day I was tired, second not to bad. I'm not back in now until next Tuesday, then doing 3 half days. everyone has been wonderful, and it's nice to get some normality in my life. thank you so much.

Hi Helena i will I promise. My best advise to all ladies is try when you can feel postive , if you feel tired then rest. Speak to people, don't be ashamed that you got cancer. Take life to its fullest, and don't be scared. Ive made two lovely friends through my journey, and I will carry on with our friendship. They do say good things come out of bad and it's true. xxxxx

Hi Helena i spoke to Macmillan, they have advised me that as long as you do not work for 4 days consecutive, including weekends before you work. Then you get SSP, it's not brilliant but it's better than nothing. So I'm waiting on my employer to come back to me. thanks again

Hello Ive been off since 26th May and for the first 10 weeks my employer paid me Ssp an topped it up to full pay. Then the last 5 weeks, paid me Ssp and made up to half pay, But they think is the law, as I'm returning to work, it's just mad. i mays well just stayed at home, as over a month I will probably only be doing a week in total and will loose out. I will call Macmillan tomorrow thank u

Hello everyone i went to to see my employer on Friday to discuss my phased return to work, as my doctor advised to start on half days and slowly work up over a period of a month. they agreed to it, and put a plan in to action, so felt more positive. Then the HR lady advised me , that I will only get paid for the time I'm in work, and not paid for non working days, Which meant I will not get paid SSP for theses days, she did apologise saying she thought it was mad. Because in fact I'm getting less money for wanting to return. So I've looked on the government and acas website, and it does seem that you go get paid. So I contacted my HR department with this information, so I'm waiting. Does anybody know if I'm correct, or what happens, if I can't get ssp I could really do without this, when I just want to rebuild my life

Good afternoon everyone im 3 weeks after radiotherapy, and I've noticed this morning that I have sores under ny breast which is quite sore. It a line of about 2cm long it is pink and looks like a few lumps ut not actually lumps. But one does look a spot I think it might be due to a sweat rash. So I wanted to know what type of cream to use. I am quite a large lady, and have been using cotton crop tops through my treatment.

Good morning I'm seeing my Breast Clinic Nurse on Tuesday for my cording, as my arm is getting quite painful, she feels I may need some physiotherapy, I've since this post, had several emails from my contact in HR and she has reassured me, as you have said that it's just so they can see how i am doing and to see what they can do for me, so I do feel abit happier, I'm going to see my doctors on Friday, I do not think I'm ready to go back to work, and the side effects from rads are hitting me hard and I need to get this sorted, With regards to work it self, I'm 48 and I work, with such amazing people, the first time I went to see them, they had made me the most amazing "we miss you" card. I thank you for your kind works, and reassurance

Hello everyone i had my lumpectomy in May, had 4 lots of fluid removed due to seroma. I'm currently very tired, red and itchy which I've been given hydrocortisone. Got cording which I'm doing my exercises and my husband is massaging it and I nearly go through the roof with pain. started radiotherapy had 9 sessions, 6 to go. Up to recently my work have been brill, I did call in two times one after I recovered from my op to say hello, the second time was quite recently again to say hello. Ive now been advised that HR want me to call in for a Welfare chat, so I sent them an email with my current situation, so they said they think would be best for me to call in when my treatment was over. Since then due to me worrying, I've sent emails called to sort this out, but so far not sure when I'm going. Ive been keeping my boss updated weekly with my progress. So do I really need to go and see HR, it's stressing me out, do they not believe me, yes I've not been off since May but I do have cancer. sorry for the rant.

Hi im 5 weeks after my operation, the same as you. I went to see my BC nurse and they removed fluid from my boob each time, which is seroma. The swelling is very normal, as mine is still swollen and tender, they have advised it is normal. It is due to scar tissue healing and will take some time. You need to carry on with your exercises. good luck
