    Considering to stop working

    As I mentioned in my intro thread, my colleague was diagnosed just some months ago, she's feeling really tired, she has a hard time sleeping and she gets bone troubles often. What would be your advice, should she stop working or it depends on how she feels?

    Hello from Canada
