• holding that notwithstanding the fact that supervisor made comments about plaintiffs breast cancer that were insensitive, crass, and “beneath contempt,” they were insufficient to support her claim that her employer “regarded her” as disabled by reason of her illness
• finding no material fact issue as to whether cancer substantially limited the life activity of working
• plaintiff who worked a modified schedule during radiation treatment for breast cancer had failed to establish a substantially limiting impairment under the ADA
• employer offering plaintiff another position with the company precluded fact issue as to whether employer regarded plaintiff as disabled
• “Obviously, her ability to work was affected; but, as reflected in the above-quoted statute and regulations, far more is required to trigger coverage . . . .”
