[quote=Anonymous]I am a cancer survivor, too. There seems to be a saying in our "club" that "you don't get to keep your cancer job". It means that people's impression of you is often forever changed by having had cancer and you are seen as more frail and less capable. It sucks, but this happened to me and I've seen it over and over with others. I didn't take disability leave during treatment but I took Wednesday afternoons off every other week for chemo and then left at 3:30 for the 6 weeks of daily radiation that followed. Affirm to your manager that you are excited to be back and understand that they may be concerned about your health, but that your doctor says you are good to go. Then give them some time to see you working as capably as you did before and maybe the projects come back to you. If not....leave.[/quote]
