I need to provide some background first, when i was first diagnosed my boss agreed to redeploy me as i cant work in my usual job whilst having chemo, this worked well until she had to go off as she too was diagnosed with breast cancer, just lately i have been working from home owing to the tiredness from chemo. This evening i received an email from her replacement stating that owing to the lack of option to do my job remotely he is demanding that i provide a sickness certificate for my absence from work. I wasn't aware I was absent and don't feel that i have been absent, it's not my fault that I can't work in my usual environment or that they are struggling to find me tasks I can do from home. This is just causing me more stress at a time when I really don't need it, I am finishing Chemo on the 17th November and have started having appointments with my surgeon to discuss next steps which are turning out to be different than what i was initially led to believe they would be. I should also point out that I am only entitled to 2 months full pay sick leave and 2 months half pay so was hoping to have to not use them until I had had surgery.
Apologies for the long rant but I don't know how to react to the email and the additional stress is just getting to me.
