Return to work is not “back to normal.”

May 14, 2026

Survivorship does not mean everything resets.

A lot of employees return to work after treatment with:
fatigue,
fear,
changed priorities,
changed capacity,
and a body that does not feel the same.

And yet the expectation is often:

“Great, you’re back.”

Employers need a better understanding of survivorship, not just diagnosis and treatment.

Support shouldn’t stop when treatment stops.
