You do not have to reinvent the wheel of wondering what a person who works for your particular employer should know or do.

Look for an advisor at work who understands your situation, can help you make decisions, and who will keep your discussions confidential. The document in "To Learn More" describes what to look for in an advisor. In addition to discussing the general question of who to tell, also discuss how much to tell and requesting time off.

Look for other men and women in your workplace who have had colorectal cancer. Ask them about their experiences in the workplace. Remind them that you haven't told anyone yet and want to keep this confidential.

Speak with a social worker at the cancer center where you will receive your treatment. He or she may have some practical tips - including experiences they know about that happened to other people who work for your particular employer.
