If you have been diagnosed with cancer, and your employer has treated you differently from other employees because you have cancer, you may have an employment claim. Cancer is a disease that is characterized by uncontrolled cell division that may spread to other tissue in the body. There are many differently types of cancer, and each requires differently treatment. Most cancers are treated with a combination of radiology and chemotherapy. If you have cancer, and your boss is discriminating against you because of your cancer diagnosis, you may be able to bring a suit.

In order to bring suit against your employer, you must be able to show that your cancer constitutes a ‘medical disability.’ To bring a claim against your employer, you must also be able to show that your cancer has resulted in physical limitations, that you can still preform the essential tasks of your job, and that your boss has discriminated against you because of your cancer. Some examples of ways in which your employer may have discriminated against you include not allowing you to miss work for medical appointments, not providing reasonable at-work accommodations for your cancer, and not allowing you to take a reasonable time off work for chemotherapy and radiation sessions.
