Going back to work after cancer treatment isn't as simple as showing up on Monday. In this episode of The Survivor's Table, I dig into the real challenges survivors face when re-entering the workplace — from navigating disclosure and accommodations to rebuilding stamina, confidence, and a sense of identity beyond "patient."

I talk about:
🔹 The emotional weight of returning to "normal" life
🔹 How to approach conversations with employers and HR
🔹 Balancing energy levels, appointments, and expectations
🔹 What support (and what silence) from coworkers really feels like

Whether you're a survivor preparing to return, a caregiver supporting someone through this transition, or an employer wanting to do better by your team — this conversation offers honest, practical insight into a part of the cancer journey that doesn't get talked about enough.

The Survivor's Table is hosted by Michael Hizer, a five-time cancer survivor. New episodes feature honest conversations with patients, survivors, and caregivers about what surviving cancer really looks like. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and pull up a chair.
