Likewise on the "everyone is different" comment. I haven't been to work since 3/22. After the surgery I was crying at the drop of a hat, couldn't focus to boil water, and didn't have appropriate makeup to cover the radiation burns - not very professional, especially necessary in my line of work. There were two weeks in the middle of radiation I felt AWESOME, but I'd already told work "sorry". They're not seeing me until after brachey next month.

If they had cut my pay, I probably could have found it in me to work a reduced schedule or from home. But my body wouldn't have received the sleep it needed to heal as quickly. Now I'm asleep more than awake.

There may be some laws requiring them to hold that position or a similar one, but that's not my expertise.

PS - to all those needing makup that covers your regular skin and ointment on your radiation burns - BareMinerals works incredibly well. Okay, so I gave into the infomercial. I was desperate. It was certainly worth it - you wouldn't even know I had radiation burns, and I have WELTS on my neck right now! HIGHLY recommend it.
