Supporting a Member of Staff Through Cancer
There are estimated to be about 900,000 people of working age living with cancer but the good news is that, with new treatments being developed all the time, survival rates have doubled in the last 30 years and 67% of employees do return to work. For many people work can play a pivotal role in their return to as normal a life as possible and, even during treatment, can provide emotional benefits, helping the individual to cope with the trials of facing cancer.
