Question Posted Thursday December 22 2016, 10:59 am
hi, friend of mine at work has confined in me and i am not sure if i should tell the manager (she is very understanding).
my friend told me she lost a baby recently and has had to have to sweep (to make sure everything has gone), they found a lump in her uterus which they think could be cancerous. The line of work we do is helping families who require help with their children our role is to find volunteers etc. Another co-worker was talking about a family which upset my friend a little. I quickly tried to change the topic while trying to be discrete about it.
My boss has asked me once what is going on as she knows that was out of the blue for me. I had to say it was starting to disorientate me (which it was a little)
should i speak to my boss about this?

She confided in you as a friend and you should keep that confidence until she finds out the results of the Biopsy. Once she has the results and if it is cancer, she is going to need to tell the boss as she is going to need to take leave for surgery as most likely they will recommend a Hysterectomy.
Should something like this happen again before she tells the boss anything and the boss approaches you again. I suggest you tell the boss that he or she needs to speak with her in confidence. The boss sounds like he or she will pick up on that wording that something is wrong and will take your friend aside and ask her. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
