Cancer and Careers' founder Carlotta Jacobson was interviewed in People Magazine and she talks about the impetus for founding Cancer and Careers back in 2001.

"I still remember when someone came to me and said she wasn't going to tell her company because she didn't know if she would be able to be promoted and also [she feared] that other people, unfortunately, would want to take her place. So, to me, there was a need to give guidance, because people could read everything about the medical things, but they were working and they needed know how to talk to their peers and how to talk to HR. They needed support, so what we wanted to do is educate them on ways to handle this."
