Working with cancer part 2: Neuropathy and psychological consequences

Cancer patients often worry not only about their health, but also about keeping their job and their income. It is often patients who are treated over a longer period of time and then feel exhausted and no longer fully resilient. This is a particular challenge for employers. In addition to knowledge about this topic, a trusting relationship between employer and employee is extremely helpful. This enables transparent and open communication in order to ensure a return to work as part of an efficient BEM process and gradual reintegration. The working relationship is not always so good that you want to talk openly about your illness. In this case, the employee representative body and the representative body for severely disabled employees can provide support or the company doctors can offer advice.
