Great to hear that your feeling well enough to even think about coming back to work. I know a guy that had the same problem he came back on a rehab/light duties for a several months. Thankfully he's still keeping well and has returned to full time work. Don't let the bosses mess you about.

Great news that you beaten it, (such a horrible thing). :Applause :Applause Getting back to work with your mates will pick you up no end :dance

We had a guy come back to work following a cancer removed from his neck. Atos started him on light indoor duties at 30 hours per week (got paid full). He did get back to full time duties but he did not rush it and who can blame him. As far as iam aware his doing ok but he retired to the coast last year, lucky sod.

Welcome to the forum mate :wave

Hi,

Am very glad your ok.

We found out on friday my wife has bowel cancer, this week we go to see if its spread to other parts of her body.

I have meeting with DOM tomorrow, will see how much leave he will allow.

I wish you and your family all the best in the future.
Take care.
