Hello
I had a Lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy on 5th Dec and got a fit note for 2 weeks. I get my pathology results on 21st so won't know exactly what my treatment plan will be until then. I was thinking that l should get my fitnote extended until at least the 21st as mentally l won't feel like going back until l know my results. My employer is being very supportive and l can take sick leave until l am ready to go back. I can then have a return to work interview.
If my treatment is radiotherapy l reckon l could go back for a couple of days and then take my Christmas leave as planned. I would then go back after Christmas and work until my radiotherapy or other treatment starts. I have an occupational health appointment on 3rd January and I will also be waiting for the results of a bone scan, which l should hopefully have by then.
So my question is should l get my sick leave extended until l have spoken with occupational health on 3rd Jan and take my leav another time? It is difficult to plan anything at the moment!
Thanks for your help.
