after having cancer. I hardly missed any work during treatments & kept up with my responsibilities but now they seem to be trying to make my life hell. The stress that I am enduring now is worse than when I was fighting cancer.

You can start with the Patient Advocate Foundation. They might be able to give you advice:

Good luck and keep fighting. It's unbelievable that any employer would give you a hard time after what you've been through.

i cant give you any information other than don't work there if your not happy. im 16 years old and in my first part time job i was sexually harrassed and there was noone there for me, head office did nothing about it and after me constantly complaining and the manager laughing in my face i got a transfer to a different location. the past job i had i was verbally harassed and abused. it is not worth the money if your emotional well being is at stake, apply for another job where you can and as soon as you get it leave where you are. fight for your rights as a worker to be treated with respect. i suggest possibly looking into calling a lawyer and find out as much as you can from them. they can be pricey but with the right lawyer it will all pay off. good luck and god bless. glad to hear your cancer was treated succesfully, one more person in the world who is a living survival story:)

Call the Labor Board. And call your state disability department. Call EDI.

contact the labor board and ask them about what you can do or where you can get some help, unless you have a union then call them immediately-good luck to you
