Diagnosed with cancer on H1B visa. What to do ?
Have wife and kids Family to support in india. Hard to attend current job with treatment. In future i donno anyone would hire me for software development. Is this the life ? I had everything. TC: 380K, beautiful wife and kids. I just dont have time.
Relax , just a phase , it will pass. Just focus on getting well soon
Cancer is just a phase?
Yeah, you didn't hear 'amznoin' here can just walk it off.
You don't have to disclose anything about it in the future to employers. I understand your situation, DM me if you want.
Please don't lose hope. Give enough focus to your treatment and health. You will survive this challenge for sure!
Terribly sorry to hear that! What are your options? Go back or stay? Can you attend treatments back home? You can get paid leave from your employer for reasons like this. Be strong!!
Sending prayers and good wishes your way. I hope you get better soon
Don’t give up hope, fight on. You can beat it. As you know cancer is not a single decease but a spectrum of deceases. There have been several advancements in cancer treatment , my prayers are with you for a full recovery. Just finished reading an amazing book by the foremost oncologist in the US, DR. Siddhartha Mukherjee, which made me realize how precious life is and we need to cherish every moment we have. https://www.amazon.com/Emperor-All-Maladies-Biography-Cancer/dp/0007250924/ref=asc_df_0007250924_nodl/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=333503577727&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7190683845931914546&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032043&hvtargid=pla-466588334783&psc=1
Don’t lose hope. You will get better. Look for medical leave options with the employer and also look for options in India. Your career will be on track after sometime. Take care of your health !!
Consider life as a full package. You have to go through every bit of it. Fight on and be strong. Sometimes you need to take a step back. Don’t loose hope. Our prayers will be with you and your family.
@OP, please don’t worry about the future job prospects and focus on getting better. I believe your current job will not be under jeopardy because of your illness. I’ve had two colleagues at Cisco who went through cancer treatments and their managers were fully supportive. US labor laws do favor employees who are out sick.
Sorry to hear OP - I think you should focus on your health and your family. Your career will be there for you when you are ready to come back.
