Many women diagnosed with cancer have questions about how their diagnosis and the treatment to come will affect their ability to work. The fact is, with the many supportive care treatments available today and with doctors and employers increasingly willing to work with patients to accommodate work and treatment schedules, many patients are able to continue to work through treatment.

Women&Cancer is inspired by the stories we have been able to share from women who have made their career and their cancer diagnosis work together. We know that each woman facing the question of how to balance a career and a cancer diagnosis has unique challenges related to her specific diagnosis and treatment plan, and that it’s not possible in all cases for women to continue to work. But we are dedicated to sharing stories and strategies to help women who feel they can work create a plan to balance their work and their treatment.
