Hi all! My name is Vicki. Ive been working at a convenience store for 8 years. I just got done with chemo at the end of feb, and 2 months of radiation just 1 month ago. I had a lumpectomy in last oct. Ive been working the whole time through treatment, except for a few sick days through chemo. I had paid sick days for those, Ive never missed a days work in 8 years n always work overtime also, even through treatment, now my boss is being so hard on me, as i am her asst. mngr..She even asked me when my last treatment was!! Ive been giving my all in this busy store. its hard work stocking n running a post office in the store also, 2 stores in one. I feel so overwhelmed w stress!! Shes picking at me negatively like im not doing enough!! I do more than my share of work, but  feel so tired like im over doing it!! I dont know how to handle this. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!   Sincerely Vicki

    Hi Vicki- Im sorry you are having to deal with a stressful work inviroment especially while dealing with your BC, I can see why you are so stressed out and rightfully so, being treated like that is uncalled for, and you would think being a woman she would be more understanding, but unless you have been in our shoes, they just dont get it! I wish i had better advice to give you with your boss, im sure there is some legalitlys there so you dont lose your job? Not sure, but hopefully someone will come along soon and help you deal with this kind of treatment. hugs,

    Debbie
