Initially I began blogging under the alias ‘Bumpyboobs’ – that was before I was diagnosed and simply had suspicions of cancer. But for me, once the cancer was actually diagnosed everything became so real all thoughts of an alias flew out the window. Essentially, I felt relief in the honesty of blogging and not withholding the true experience. It was my release value.

And honestly, at the time I never even considered the repercussions of admitting my disease online (i.e. will future employers discount me for having gotten sick if they run a Google Search?) – all I wanted was to connect, vent and write. But another truth of this situation is that so far, despite having posted such personal information, I’ve received nothing but support and encouragement.

But whether a person chooses to blog openly or under assumed name, I’m 100% pro writing through the experience. It’s a lifesaver, and an incredible tool for connections and finding strength.

Thanks for your question! Please let me know if this response doesn’t meet what you wanted to know.

I would only share what you feel comfortable with and only share it with those you trust. You never have to share personal info to anyone at work and sometimes sadly sharing may place you at a disadvantage. I would keep quiet until you are hired and feel as though you can trust those around you. Best of luck to you in your decision may it turn out the best for you!
