Colon Cancer Support Group

Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from mushroom-like growths that are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy.

I really thought I was done with the medical leave thing. I just started full
time at my present job last September. I was acctually still in treatment but they were ok with that. So after I finished radiation in Dec, I thought oh I can just use personal time. I get 64 hrs per year. So that didn't work out. I had 4 dentist appts in Jan so after that I really considered continuing the leave. My supervisor actually took me aside the other day and said she noticed I wasn't myself the last couple weeks. She had already talked to he HR person and was told I could still get 80 hrs fmla
up until Oct. So I get that going again. I ended up going home early today
just because I need more sleep. I really dont like having to do this again.
But I just have to deal with it. Damn!

luckily my workplace is good about FMLA I conly qualify for the state
FMLA right now because I was only pat time last year. But am full
time now. So I can take 80 hours through October. I finished all my treatments in Dec. But found I was taking more personal time mostily for side effect from Gaberpetin. I am considering stopping that and finding something else. I have a dr appt in 2 weeks.

i am not the type to want to take any action like what you said but I understand where you are coming from.

I will let you know how it goes. I hope you will be doing well.
