Welcome to Working After Cancer

Have you just been diagnosed with cancer?

Have you had cancer, and thinking about going or gone back to work?

Do you have a friend, colleague or relative who has had or been diagnosed with cancer?

If you have said yes to any of these questions, this website is here for you.

Having had cancer myself nearly four years ago, I know how it feels. You can read an excerpt of my story or download it in full by clicking on 'My Story'. I have created this site with the help of a few friends to share with you some practical hints and tips, that had I known four years ago would have been enormously helpful to me. The support I had in a medical context was good, but the mental, emotional, and practical support was minimal.

As well as having to deal with a life threatening disease such as cancer you can also be faced with many everyday practical problems that at the time and forever thereafter sometimes seem too much to deal with.

This site is here to support and encourage everyone to have and maintain a positive attitude towards cancer.
