If so, your employer cannot discriminate against you as long as you are qualified to do your job. Furthermore, if your cancer or late side effects of cancer interfere with your ability to perform the responsibilities of job, your employer may need to provide reasonable accommodations to allow you to perform the essential functions of your job. Information resources on health insurance and workplace issues can be found by visiting Practical Concerns for cancer survivors.
