But still not wanting

でもまだ信じたくなくて
こう言ったんです

01:01
"Now, malignant carcinoma,

「『悪性腫瘍』ががんだという
確証はあるんですか？」

01:06
(Laughter)
16
54837
1206
（笑）
01:08
She told me she was sure.
17

But at that moment,
work wasn't my priority.

20

でもその時は
仕事は優先事項ではありませんでした

01:23
I was thinking about how I was going
to tell my family and friends

21
71046
3120
自分ががんになった事を
どう家族や友達に伝えようかと
どう家族や友達に伝えようかと
01:26
that I had cancer.
22
74190

思案していました
01:28
How I was going to answer their questions
23
76165
1968
彼らの質問にどう答えようか
01:30
about how bad it was
and whether I was going to be OK,

がんの進行度や
完治する可能性

01:33
when I didn't know that myself.
25
81276
1817
私自身も分からないのに
01:36
I was wondering if my partner and I
26
84307
1691
私は夫と
01:38
would ever have an opportunity
to start a family.
to start a family.
27
86022
2317
子供を持つことができるんだろうか
01:41
And I was figuring out
how I was going to tell my mother,

89094

私を身ごもっていた時に
乳がんを患った
乳がんを患った
01:44
who had herself had breast cancer
when she was pregnant with me.
when she was pregnant with me.
29
92562
3753
母への伝え方を考えていました
01:49
She would know how I was feeling
30
97165
1928
母は私の気持ちが分かったはず
01:51
and have an idea of what lay ahead for me.
31
99117
2627
そして私がこれから直面することも
想像できたでしょう
想像できたでしょう
01:53
But I also didn't want her
to have to relive her cancer experience.
to have to relive her cancer experience.
32
101768
4588
でも母にがんの体験を
思い出させたくないと思いました
思い出させたくないと思いました
01:59
What I didn't appreciate at the time
33
107568
2294
その時気付かなかったのは
02:01
was that work was about to play
a huge role in my treatment and recovery.
a huge role in my treatment and recovery.
34
109886
4484
仕事が病気の治療と回復に
大きな影響を及ぼすということ
大きな影響を及ぼすということ
02:07
That it would be my coworkers and my job
35
115402
3135
自分が統計の数字のような
存在に過ぎないと感じた時
存在に過ぎないと感じた時
02:10
that would make me feel valuable and human
36
118561
2008
同僚と仕事が
私に自分の価値を思い出させ
私に自分の価値を思い出させ
02:12
at times when I would have
otherwise felt like a statistic.

37
120593

人間だという感覚を
思い出させてくれること

02:16
That it would be my job
that would give me routine and stability

38
124379

そして
どんな乳房再建術を受けるかといった
どんな乳房再建術を受けるかといった
02:20
when I was dealing with so many
difficult personal decisions
difficult personal decisions
39
128577
2825
たくさんの難しい個人的な決断や
02:23
and so much uncertainty.
40
131426
1572
不確実さに直面している時に
02:25
Like, what sort of breast
reconstruction I was going to have.
reconstruction I was going to have.
41
133022
4133
仕事がルーチンや安定を
与えてくれることでした
与えてくれることでした
02:30
And at a time like that,
42
138680
1619
そんな時
02:32
you would think that I would turn
to my family and friends for support.
to my family and friends for support.
43
140323
3554
私がサポートを求めるのは
家族や友達だろうと思うでしょう
家族や友達だろうと思うでしょう
02:35
And yes, of course I did that.
44
143901
2706
もちろんそうしました
02:39
But it would ultimately be my colleagues
45
147806
1929
でも 私の日々の生活で
大きな部分を占めるのは
大きな部分を占めるのは
02:41
who would play a huge role
in my day-to-day life.
in my day-to-day life.
46
149759
4373
仕事の同僚たちです
02:46
And they would be
the ones to make me laugh.
the ones to make me laugh.
47
154625
2990
彼らが私を笑わせたりしてくれます
02:49
You see, we were a pretty close team,
48
157639
3184
私たちは仲の良いチームで
02:52
and we shared a couple
of really good in-jokes,
of really good in-jokes,
49
160847
2563
仲間うちで流行の冗談を
言い合っていました
言い合っていました
02:55
like this time they overheard
someone ask me
someone ask me
50
163434
3961
それがカツラだったとは知らずに
02:59
how I got my hair so shiny and perfect --
51
167419
3755
誰かが私に艶のある完璧な髪を
03:04
without knowing that it was,
of course, a wig,
of course, a wig,
52
172002
2992
どう手に入れたのとたずねるのが
聞こえたとか
聞こえたとか
03:07
and you know, it was a very good wig
53
175018
2127
因みに それはとっても良いカツラで
03:09
and it did make getting ready
in the mornings very easy.
in the mornings very easy.
54
177169
3156
朝の支度をとっても楽にしてくれました
03:12
(Laughter)
55
180349
1347
（笑）
03:13
But in little moments like this,
I appreciated what their support meant,
I appreciated what their support meant,
56
181720
4619
でもこうしたちょっとした瞬間に
皆の支え
皆の支え
03:18
and I wondered what I would
have done without that network.
have done without that network.
57
186363
3174
あのネットワークがなければ
どうしていただろうと思ったものです
どうしていただろうと思ったものです
03:22
I've spoken with so many people,
women in particular,
women in particular,
58
190716
4158
これまでたくさんの人たちと
とりわけ女性とお話ししました
とりわけ女性とお話ししました
03:26
who haven't had the chance
to have that network
to have that network
59
194898
2873
治療をしながら仕事を続けるという
03:29
because they haven't been given
the opportunity to work through treatment.
the opportunity to work through treatment.
60
197795
3976
選択肢を与えられなかった人々です
03:35
And there are several reasons for this.
61
203471
2269
これにはいくつかの理由があります
03:37
But I think it mostly comes down
to overly paternalistic employers.
to overly paternalistic employers.
62
205764
3821
でも主に 過保護な雇用者に
問題があると思います
問題があると思います
03:42
These employers want you to go away
and focus on yourself.
and focus on yourself.
63
210375
4369
彼らは 休暇を取り
治療に専念するよう求めます
治療に専念するよう求めます
03:47
And come back when you're better.
64
215077
2246
治ったら戻って来るようにと
03:50
And they use those kinds of phrases.
65
218196
2400
そんな言葉をかけます
03:53
And while these responses
are well-meaning,
are well-meaning,
66
221135
3174
こうした反応は善意からのものですし
03:56
knowing the benefits it brought me,
67
224333
1920
それに助けられもしましたが
03:58
it makes me incredibly frustrated
68
226277
2992
人々がそう願い
肉体的にも可能だったのに
肉体的にも可能だったのに
04:01
when people are told
that they couldn’t or shouldn't work,
that they couldn’t or shouldn't work,
69
229293
3868
仕事を続けられなかったとか
そうするべきではないと言われたという時
そうするべきではないと言われたという時
04:05
when it's something that they want to do
and physically can do.
and physically can do.
70
233185
3265
心底苛立ちを感じます
04:09
So I started to look into
what an employer is required to do
what an employer is required to do
71
237605
3210
それで 社員ががんと診断された際の
04:12
when someone presents
with a cancer diagnosis.
with a cancer diagnosis.
72
240839
2706
雇用主の義務を調べてみることにしました
04:16
I discovered that under Australian law,
cancer is considered a disability.
cancer is considered a disability.
73
244839
4404
オーストラリアでは法律で
がんは障がいと規定されていました
がんは障がいと規定されていました
04:21
So if you are unable to perform
your usual work duties,
your usual work duties,
74
249835
3413
通常の職務を果たすのが難しければ
04:25
your employer is obligated
by the Disability Discrimination Act
by the Disability Discrimination Act
75
253272
3920
障害差別禁止法によって
04:29
to make reasonable adjustments
to your working arrangements,
to your working arrangements,
76
257216
3099
雇用主は社員が働き続けられるように
04:32
so that you can continue to work.
77
260339
2444
その職場環境に
合理的な配慮を講じる責任があります
合理的な配慮を講じる責任があります
04:36
What would reasonable
adjustments look like for me?
adjustments look like for me?
78
264014
2866
私の場合 合理的な配慮とは
どんなものでしょう？
どんなものでしょう？
04:40
I knew the obvious impacts
my diagnosis was going to have on work.
my diagnosis was going to have on work.
79
268579
3928
私は診断内容から
仕事にどんな影響が出るか予想できました
仕事にどんな影響が出るか予想できました
04:45
Medical appointments would be scheduled
during business hours,
during business hours,
80
273000
3341
就業時間中に病院に行ったり
04:48
and I knew that I would need time off
to recover from surgical procedures.
to recover from surgical procedures.
81
276365
4350
手術後には回復期間を
確保する必要がありました
確保する必要がありました
04:53
Again, being a typical lawyer,
82
281490
2429
繰り返しますが 典型的な弁護士の私は
04:55
I had done my due diligence
on what to expect from treatment.
on what to expect from treatment.
83
283944
3871
治療について下調べをしました
05:00
Admittedly, a lot of that
was through Doctor Google,
was through Doctor Google,
84
288371
2445
ほとんどGoogle検索からの情報でした
05:02
perhaps not my best move
and I wouldn't recommend that.
and I wouldn't recommend that.
85
290840
3035
最善の策ではありませんし
お勧めもしませんよ
お勧めもしませんよ
05:05
(Laughter)
86
293895
1150
（笑）
05:07
But while I was ready
for all the physical side effects,
for all the physical side effects,
87
295207
3142
私はあらゆる身体的副作用に対して
心の準備ができていましたが
心の準備ができていましたが
05:10
what really scared me
was this thing called chemo brain.
was this thing called chemo brain.
88
298373
3425
一番怖かったのは「キモブレイン
（化学療法による脳障害）」でした
（化学療法による脳障害）」でした
05:15
Chemo brain presents itself
through memory loss,
through memory loss,
89
303103
3131
キモブレインになると
記憶障害や
記憶障害や
05:18
an inability to concentrate
90
306258
2197
集中力の低下
05:20
and an inability to solve problems.
91
308479
2334
問題解決能力の低下が起こります
05:23
And if this happened to me,
92
311226
1762
もしそれが私に起これば
05:25
I wondered how I was going to do
my job as a lawyer.
my job as a lawyer.
93
313012
2794
どうやって弁護士の仕事をこなせばいいのか
と悩みました
と悩みました
05:28
Would I be forced to leave work?
94
316415
1794
クビになるのかしら？
05:30
And how could I possibly
have a discussion with my manager
have a discussion with my manager
95
318924
4349
自分への影響すら知らず
05:35
about reasonable adjustments
to my working arrangements
to my working arrangements
96
323297
2899
どうやって私の仕事環境への
合理的な配慮など
合理的な配慮など
05:38
when I didn't know
how I was going to be impacted?
how I was going to be impacted?
97
326220
2516
上司と話し合えるだろうかと
思いあぐねました
思いあぐねました
05:41
I was fortunate to have
a supportive manager
a supportive manager
98
329823
3222
幸いにも
私には親身になってくれる上司がいて
私には親身になってくれる上司がいて
05:45
who was happy to see
how things went as we went along,
how things went as we went along,
99
333069
3818
まず全ての方針を決めてしまうよりも
05:48
rather than requiring
a concrete plan up front.
a concrete plan up front.
100
336911
3097
経過を見ながらその都度
対処することにしてくれました
対処することにしてくれました
05:53
I was lucky that while
he may not have even known
he may not have even known
101
341546
3341
私は幸運でした
05:56
about this concept
of reasonable adjustments,
of reasonable adjustments,
102
344911
2730
合理的な配慮という概念を知らなくても
05:59
to him, it was just common sense.
103
347665
2698
彼にとってはそれが自然なことだったんです
06:03
But I've learned that it's not
common sense to everyone.
common sense to everyone.
104
351220
3254
でも 必ずしも皆にとってそうではないのだと
次第にわかりました
次第にわかりました
06:08
Everyone going through treatment
will learn how it impacts them
will learn how it impacts them
105
356625
3301
治療を受けている人々は誰でも
その影響や
その影響や
06:11
and what their limitations are.
106
359950
1793
様々な制限について次第に学び
06:14
And they'll learn to adjust for that.
107
362871
2063
適応することを学びます
06:16
So for me, there were the tips and tricks
that I learned about the treatment itself,
that I learned about the treatment itself,
108
364958
4657
私の場合 治療そのものについて
あれこれの知識がありました
あれこれの知識がありました
06:21
like, before you go to chemo,
109
369639
1730
例えばキモセラピーの前には
06:23
you need to make sure
you're really well hydrated
you're really well hydrated
110
371393
2309
水分を十分にとっておくだとか
06:25
and that you're warm, because it helps
the nurses to find your veins.
the nurses to find your veins.
111
373726
3381
看護師が血管を見つけやすいように
体を暖かくしておくとか
体を暖かくしておくとか
06:29
And make sure that you don't eat
any of your favorite food,
any of your favorite food,
112
377474
2944
キモセラピーの前後に
06:32
either before or after chemo,
113
380442
1953
好物を食べないようにするとか—
06:34
because you're going to be
throwing that up
throwing that up
114
382419
2269
結局吐いてしまって
06:36
and you won't ever
want to look at it again.
want to look at it again.
115
384712
2102
２度と見たくなくなるからです
06:38
(Laughter)
116
386838
1190
（笑）
06:40
I learned that one the hard way.
117
388052
1555
実際に体験して学びました
06:42
And then there were the tricks
for managing my workflow.
for managing my workflow.
118
390292
2952
私の業務フローの管理にも
工夫を加えました
工夫を加えました
06:45
I scheduled chemo for first thing
on a Monday morning.

119
393720
2757
キモセラピーを
月曜朝一番の予定に入れました
月曜朝一番の予定に入れました
06:49
I knew that from the time
I left the cancer care unit,
I left the cancer care unit,
120
397171
3072
がん治療ユニットを退出してから
06:52
I had about four hours
before this fog screen would come down
before this fog screen would come down
121
400267
4429
あの霧の降りて来る状態になる前に
４時間くらいの時間があり
４時間くらいの時間があり
06:56
and I would start to be sick.
122
404720
1840
その後気分が悪くなるからです
06:58
So I would use that time to clean my inbox
and make any urgent calls.
and make any urgent calls.
123
406863
4174
それでその間にメールの受信箱を片付け
急ぎの電話をかけることにしました

07:04
The worst of the sickness would be gone
within about 48 hours.
within about 48 hours.
124
412371

最悪の体調は48時間で快方に向かいます
07:08
And then I would log back
into work from home.
into work from home.
125
416228
2238
それからは在宅勤務するわけです
07:12
This treatment continued
and I knew what to expect.

この治療は続き
私はどんな影響があるかが分かっていたので
私はどんな影響があるかが分かっていたので
07:15
I was able to set reasonable expectations
with my business partners
with my business partners
127
423220
3429
現実的に期待できる成果を
仕事のパートナー達と決めることができました
仕事のパートナー達と決めることができました
07:18
about what I could do
128
426673
1889
何ができるか
07:20
and the time frames that I could do it in.
129
428586
2192
そしてそれをどれ位の期間でできるか
07:23
But I still remember
the hesitation in their voices
the hesitation in their voices
130
431387
4031
でもまだ 私に業務を依頼する時や
07:27
when it came to asking for things.
131
435442
2207
期限を設ける時の
07:29
And asking me to do things
by a certain time.
by a certain time.
132
437673
2825
皆のためらいを帯びた声を覚えています
07:32
And trust me, these were people
133
440522
1994
彼らは 本当に厳しい締め切り時間を
平気で設けてくるような
平気で設けてくるような
07:34
that were not afraid
of setting a good deadline.
of setting a good deadline.
134
442540
2267
人たちだったんですから
07:36
(Laughter)
135
444836
1150
（笑）
07:38
I got the impression they didn't want
to put any extra pressure on me
to put any extra pressure on me
136
446569
3445
私が治療を受けている間は
余計なプレッシャーをかけたくないという
余計なプレッシャーをかけたくないという
07:42
while I was going through treatment.
137
450038
1753
配慮を感じました
07:44
And while I appreciated the sentiment,
138
452133
2389
その気遣いは嬉しかったのですが
07:46
I actually needed the deadlines.
139
454546
2133
締め切りは
私にとって必要なものでした
私にとって必要なものでした
07:49
To me, that was something
within my control
within my control
140
457085
2754
それはたくさんの物事が
自分の手に負えなくなっていた時
自分の手に負えなくなっていた時
07:51
and something
that could stay in my control
that could stay in my control
141
459863
2944
私が主体となって管理できて
07:54
when there were so many
things that couldn't.
things that couldn't.
142
462831
2159
コントロールし続けられるものでした
07:57
And as I was working from home,
143
465720
2428
在宅勤務を続けながら
08:00
I was thinking about how employers
should be applying this concept
should be applying this concept
144
468172
3437
２人に１人のオーストラリア人男女が
08:03
of reasonable adjustments
in our current age,
in our current age,
145
471633

85才までにがんの診断を
受けるようなこの時代に
受けるようなこの時代に
08:06
where one in two Australian men and women
146
474712
3302
雇用主たちは合理的配慮というコンセプトを
08:10
will be diagnosed with cancer
by the age of 85.
by the age of 85.
147
478038
3166
どう当てはめたら良いだろうと
考えていました
考えていました
08:13
So, as we continue to work
longer and longer into older age,
longer and longer into older age,
148
481815
5008
私たちが高齢になっても
仕事をより長期間続けるようになり
仕事をより長期間続けるようになり
08:18
the chances of having a serious illness
while we're in the workforce
while we're in the workforce
149
486847
3436
仕事をしながら重い病気にかかる可能性は
08:22
are increasing.
150
490307
1150
高まっています
08:24
And with technology enabling us
to work anywhere, any time,
to work anywhere, any time,
151
492584
5000
テクノロジーのおかげで
いつでもどこでも働けるので
いつでもどこでも働けるので
08:29
reasonable adjustments
are no longer contingent upon
are no longer contingent upon
152
497608

合理的な配慮はもう
08:33
whether or not you can continue
to physically make it

153
501425
2893
患者が実際にオフィスに通えるかどうかに
08:36
into the physical office.
154
504342
1886
左右されることはありません
08:39
Reasonable adjustments are also not about
155
507299
2223
合理的な配慮は
08:41
just offering a longer break
or a comfier chair to sit in,
or a comfier chair to sit in,
156
509546
3998
休憩を少し延長するとか
座り心地の良い椅子を提供するとかではなく
座り心地の良い椅子を提供するとかではなく
08:45
although those things might be good, too.
157
513568
2404
もちろんそれらは助かることですが—
08:48
At the very least,
158
516854
1310
少なくとも
08:50
we need to be applying
the flexibility policies and strategies

159
518188
3245
家族を持つ労働者を対象にした
シナリオを考え 作った

08:53
we've developed for other scenarios,

フレキシブルな規定や戦略を
08:55
like for people
with family responsibilities.
with family responsibilities.
161
523292
3243
活用していくべきなんです
08:59
But how can we ensure that people
are even having a conversation
are even having a conversation
162
527831
4500
でもどうやったら
09:04
about what reasonable adjustments
might look like for them
might look like for them
163
532355
3405
「治るまで職場に戻って来なくていいから」
と言ってしまうような上司のもとで
と言ってしまうような上司のもとで
09:07
if a manager's first response is to say,
164
535784
3039
自分にとっての合理的配慮は
どういうものだろうかという
どういうものだろうかという
09:10
"Oh no, don't come back to work
until you're better."
until you're better."
165
538847
3580
相談が切り出せるというのでしょう？
09:15
And a light went on for me.
166
543435
1698
そしてひらめきました
09:17
It must be compulsory for managers
167
545903
2072
そうした話を部下たちとすることは
09:19
to have to have these conversations
with their employees.
with their employees.
168
547999
3237
職場の上司たちの責任であるべきなんだと
09:23
And lessons from people like me,
169
551855
2278
治療の間も働き続けたことで救われた
09:26
that have really benefited
from working through treatment,
from working through treatment,
170
554157
2904
私のような人からの教訓は
09:29
need to be more widely shared.
171
557085
2000
もっと皆に広く知られるべきです
09:31
And I thought about what could be done
to guide these conversations,
to guide these conversations,
172
559990
3944
そうした話の水先案内を
どうしたらできるかを考えてみました
どうしたらできるかを考えてみました
09:35
and then an amazing
colleague of mine, Camilla Gunn,

カミーラと私はこれまでに数々の団体で
09:56
to talk about the toolkit
179
584534
1219
このツールキットを紹介し
09:57
and how it can help to guide through
180
585777
2587
難しくなりそうな相談を
それがどのように

10:00
what, quite frankly, are otherwise
some pretty awkward conversations.

181
588388

And I'm pleased to say that the uptake
of the toolkit is increasing.

182
592632

嬉しいことにこのツールキットは
どんどん採用されています

10:10
So what should be
a manager's first response

183
598005
2540
それでは 上司として
10:12
when somebody says that they're sick
184
600569
2414
職場の誰かが病気になり
それがどう仕事に影響するか
それがどう仕事に影響するか
10:15
and they don't know
how it's going to impact their work?
how it's going to impact their work?
185
603007
2762
見当がつかないという時
どうすべきでしょう？
どうすべきでしょう？
10:18
It must be this:
186
606450
2238
こう言うべきです
10:20
"To the extent that you
are able, and want to,
are able, and want to,
187
608712
3778
「あなたが出来る限り
そして そう希望する限り

10:24
we would love to work out
an arrangement for you

188
612514

治療を受けつつ
仕事を続けられるような

10:26
to continue to work through treatment."
189
614871
2086
職場での合理的配慮を
一緒に考えましょう」

10:29
We need to start positively engaging
people with serious illness

190
617518
3928
そろそろ 過保護な反応をして
彼らを職場から追いやる代わりに

to keep them in the workforce,

10:35
rather than paternalistically
pushing them away.

192
623994

彼らが仕事を続けられるように
計らうべきです

10:40
I've told you my story
because I want you to know the benefits

193
628299
4045
皆さんには 私ががん治療を受けながら
仕事を続けて得られたことを

10:44
that working through treatment brought me.
194
632368
2072
知って欲しくてお話ししました
10:46
And I also want to change your perceptions
195
634836
2027
そして おそらくあなたが持つ
10:48
if you think that somebody
going through treatment

196
636887
2443
がん治療を受けている人たちの
「退屈していて 弱々しくて
「退屈していて 弱々しくて
10:51
is just bored, frail and vomiting a lot.
197
639354
3571
しょっちゅう嘔吐している」
そんなイメージを変えたいんです
そんなイメージを変えたいんです
10:55
And yes, these things
were true some of the time,
were true some of the time,
198
643784
2912
確かに 時々はそういう時もありましたが
10:58
if not a lot of the time,
199
646720
2246
常にそうではありませんでした
11:00
but I was also determined
to push myself at work
to push myself at work
200
648990
2421
でも私は仕事をそれまで通り
11:03
as much as I had always done.
201
651435
1730
頑張ると決心していたし
11:05
And I was able to do that
because my employer gave me the choice.

上司が私に選ばせてくれたお陰で
それができました
それができました
11:11
Most importantly, I'm telling you
203
659307
2245
一番重要な点は
11:13
because while it's a seemingly
obvious choice to give someone,

204
661576

それは 与えられる
明らかな選択のように見えますが

11:17
it's not one that is always
offered or encouraged.

いつでも進んで
提供されるわけではないことです

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Donnelly - LawyerWestpac's Sarah Donnelly wants to encourage more open conversations about why and how an individual might continue to work while undergoing treatment for serious illnesses.
Why you should listen
Sarah Donnelly was diagnosed with breast cancer at 30 years of age -- a story all too familiar among young women in her family. She chose to continue full-time employment throughout treatment and is living proof that work can play a crucial role in a person's mental and physical recovery from a serious illness. While her employer backed her decision, Donnelly has learned that the way organizations approach this issue varies greatly. This has sparked a personal mission to encourage more open conversations about why and how an individual might continue to work while undergoing treatment.
A lawyer by trade, Donnelly is currently the Head of Group Secretariat at Westpac. She is an ally for GLOBAL, Westpac Group's Employee Action Group for LGBTIQ employees, a member of Women of Westpac, an advocate of Breast Cancer Network Australia and volunteers with Vinnie’s Van. She is an avid traveler and, when at home in Sydney's Blue Mountains, can usually be found out on a trail.
