Joe brought up a really good subject. My husband's company was very understanding about Emergency Family Leave and working around my short notice appointments in the early days of diagnosis and planning. Now we are able to schedule things more in advance. And it turns out that the worker in the administration office was a breast cancer survivor herself so she was really empathetic....
ETA: Joe, thank you for being the Webmaster for this life saving site!!!
