This thread reminded me that when I had my five weeks of fsr, four other poeple with whom i worked were also undergoing treatment at the same time at that hospital. One had bone cancer for 10 yrs and was in palliative care; one had leukemia and was undergoing yet another treatment session; one was having treatment for non hodgkins lymphoma; and i was being treated for my An. In addtion to us, another colleague died from a brain tumour a while back. Another passed away from cancer not found until three weeks before passing. Another had a brain tumour which left her unable to work and as i recall she had vestibular problems too. Yet another had an op for a brain tumour. ( i never did hear exactly what kind of brain tumour the others had)...and they all left work.
There are other instances of colleagues leaving due to "health reasons", not always clarified but rather hushed. I personally find it rather more than coincidental that almost all of us worked in the same wing of the building. It makes me wonder , of course, about some environmental component.
Then again, who knows, maybe it was a "cluster" with no common reason.
An interesting thread. Thanks.
