I spoke with Ms. du Toit about her unexpected breast cancer diagnosis during the pandemic, what she learned from this experience and what she wants you to know.
She works at Buck, an integrated HR and benefits consulting, administration, and technology services provider. Headquartered in New York City, she is the lead Health consultant for one of their large national clients and is a member of the US leadership team.
"While I was awaiting the biopsy results, I went about my normal routine," du Toit said."I was scheduled to travel for work – so I did. On my way home from the airport, the radiologist called to tell me my biopsy results. It was cancer." du Toit makes clear that she was fortunate to have a lot of help."My mom, a retired nurse, was on a plane to New York the day after I told her it was cancer. And my husband was everywhere, always, with anything we needed. He would sit next to Henry, off-camera, the entire school day to keep him on task. Our oldest son was more self-sufficient, but he wasn't interested in remote learning either.
