Find An Advisor If You Can
Next » « Previous5/11
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" tells you 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 in your workplace who have had prostate 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 men who work for your particular employer.
