| Summary: | Cancer is a serious health, social and economic problem. Due to the advancement of medicine, the number
of people who are cured and have to face taking up or returning to work increases. The article indicates the
place and role of professional work in the lives of people with cancer, the problems they face after returning to
work, and signals possible ways of solving them. The text is enriched with fragments of online asynchronous
interviews with women with cancer (n=10), and some interpretations. Research shows that professional work
brings many benefits for the sick, but at the same time causes them to experience many difficulties. Both patients
and employers lack knowledge about the possibilities of support, intervention measures are rarely taken, and
the assistance offered by the state is insufficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need to implement measures to support patients and their employers in the work process. |
