Cancer can throw a person’s life into turmoil and take the focus off a patient’s career for a time. But what rights does a patient have when it comes to the workplace?

In this week’s episode of the “CURE Talks Cancer” podcast, Monica Bryant, chief operating officer of Triage Cancer, joins us to discuss the various legal rights patients and their caregivers have when seeking reasonable accommodations to maintain their employment. Additionally, Bryant, a cancer rights attorney, highlights how patients can go about navigating their jobs, as well as the rights they have amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
