17 days later

17 days after my last radiation treatment

17 days I look happy and healthy

17 days is all it took

For my office to meet with me and tell me that I needed to come back to work full time on 

April 23rd.

Just 1 month from now.

Still completely swollen, sunburned in the brightest shade of red, peeling, and in pain....but yet because I come to work and put a smile on my face, I'm healthy?

17 days is all it took for my office to say, we don't care that she had cancer for 8 months.  We want to hire more people and as long as she's on the books as part time....we can't hire anyone.  

REALLY?

22 years of service, 8 months of diagnosis, chemo, surgery, and radiation treatments and....

17 days is all it took

THANK YOU TO MY FRONT OFFICE FOR CARING ABOUT YOUR EMPLOYEES

I COULD HAVE DIED 

BUT THEN AGAIN, DO YOU REALLY CARE?

17 DAYS
