A little bit of info about my holiday
|
Found out about a week before that my aunt has stage 4 bone cancer and some in her lung. So we all rallied and tried to get her spirits up thought we did a good job.
Then she started her first radiation treatment the week after christmas before new years and can't handle the pain. Well she couldn't handle the pain anyway is why she even went to the doctor in the first place but now she's in ICU. She was in CCU because her heart couldn't handle the strain but she's doing better now.
My point is that she still has to go back to work... They'll lose their insurance if she doesn't and she'll most certainly die a horrible painful death.
Does this seem right to anybody?

That is a horrible cancer. My mom died of lung cancer that spread to her bones and liver. She was in tremendous pain the last few weeks. She died one week before Christmas this year. She was 73 and had great insurance. I can't image the added stress of having to work because you'll lose your insurance.
I feel for you loon. It's not going to be easy. I hope things turn out better for her than my mom.

Nice list of side effects, but not as bad as the one for chemo I guess 
They expect you to work with that in the US? Talk about a backwards barbaric country

I don't know if they can hold her job with FMLA nor do I know if it's something that even kicks in with something not child birth related.
I would hope it is though. I just feel horrible for her and I know you know how this goes Tych... Just bullshit all the way around.

The FMLA is a good place to start for her rights Loon:

And no, it isn't right. My thoughts will be with your family in the coming weeks.
