Any advice on how to manage work while trying to take care of a parent undergoing chemo treatments? My company provides three months paid leave, but the road ahead is much longer than three months. Thanks for any thoughts.

Take it week by week. Three months paid leave is amazing. Do it. And make sure to schedule time to sit and chill w your parent in front of the TV (or whatever). No talk about appointments, etc. Just chill. I would have loved paid time off to be more present when I was caring for mine.

Thanks for the advice. And I’m so sorry you’ve had to experience this.

Find a cancer support group near your mom, start there. You are not equipped to deal with chemo if you haven’t been through it. Support? All day long. Be there when she needs you? Absolutely, but you’re out of your comfort zone here. Seek help. There are many willing to reach back to you but you must take that first step. Good luck, and stay strong. Don’t neglect yourself in this process.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week?

My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
