I am having treatment for breast cancer. Been off work since last October. Had 6 months of chemo. Just had mastectomy. I start radiotherapy on Monday - daily for 4 weeks. I am also having herceptin til the end of the year - given every 3 weeks intravenous into a permanent line in my arm.
I have been getting basic SSP from work which has now run out after 28 weeks.
I phoned benefits ppl this morning, 45 minutes on the phone, they will send me out form to check over and I must then post in my GP sick notes.
You hear such horror stories in the news about ppl having to go for ATOS medical and being refused benefit.
How do I stand on this when currently still? Wll I have to attend ATOS medical?
I do have a job to return to, hopefully later in the year.
