I'm very much an out going strong positive person and was diagnosed with breast cancer during the Easter holidays. When I returned to work and told colleagues, the attitude and interaction of some people with me has left me shocked and saddened. They've completely blanked me and walked past me. They will only say hello if I say it first. I've been told that I've not been considered for a promotion because I can't guarantee that I will be back to work full time in September as I will be undergoing radiotherapy treatment during August and could be on a phased return - that's not good enough!
I feel like screaming and shouting from the rafters that I didn't ask to get cancer and reminding them that I was so lucky I was called for an early mammogram that caught the cancer in the first place,but what good would it do!
Has anyone else experienced this horrible divide of people literally cutting you off overnight and how did you deal with it?
Thank you.
