MANAGING THE
EMOTIONAL SIDE OF CANCER
A cancer
diagnosis extends beyond the patient. Family, friends and
co-workers are affected as well. This panel addresses the
emotional and psychological impacts of a cancer diagnosis, and
the unique challenges it poses for an employer, supervisor,
co-workers and friends. Several cancer survivors, some of whom
are also managers, will share their own experiences to help
employers become more successful in maintaining a productive
workforce when issues of cancer diagnosis emerge.
