Re: Cancer Treatments and employment issues

Patrice,

I feel where you are coming from. The company I work for has been struggling and continues to do so as we speak. It was almost two years ago when i was diagnosed, and I had my initial surgery and chemo. At that time, I was convinced that I was totally bored with my job and my talents were being wasted.

But who, in their right mind, would hire me if I decided to look for another job? I stuck it out here, and funny thing, I'm no longer bored because I have had to wear so many different hats now. We have cut back so much.

Yes, I continue to work for insurance. But I'm also grateful for this job as long as it lasts. When/If the company crumbles, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Hope this helps!
