THE INTERSECTION OF WORK AND CANCER: A CRITICAL SURVIVORSHIP ISSUE

May 10, 2017
When you think about work, many things come to mind:
  • A paycheck
  • Benefits
  • Security
  • Community
  • Passion
  • Identity
When you think about cancer, many things also come to mind – too many to mention. The problem was that for a long time, people weren’t thinking about work and cancer together. Generally, the focus after a diagnosis was solely on living.  But advancements in medicine in the last 15+ years have created an ever-growing population of survivors, making the concept of survivorship mainstream, and paving the way for robust conversations about the role of work after a diagnosis.
