Recently, we received this email which so eloquently pointed out an aspect of cancer in the workplace that is rarely addressed:

"My boss is the one with cancer. Not only are we watching our friend and boss die before our eyes, but we are slowly losing our champion, protector, advocate, go-to person, and mentor. How can we ask for a day off to play when she is so ill? Or approve a training seminar when her world is filled with issues so much more pressing than grant writing? We are also plagued with thoughts of what will come "after" and who will be our next boss - a dreadful thought." 

So what do you do when your boss has cancer? We consulted the experts to find out, and have a great new article for you:
