Life after cancer looks different for every individual, including a return to work - if that is even possible. As part of a series for Blood Cancer Awareness Month, this article featured in The Globe and Mail spotlights Tom Wong's story. He needed two years to recover from blood cancer and its treatment before returning to work. Research funded by an LLSC Blood Cancer Quality of Life Grant is looking at how many people who have an allogeneic stem cell transplant as treatment for blood cancer can return to work, and what role working can play in adapting to life after cancer.
