Hi guys, 

My dad has stage 4 lung cancer and had his first chemo last friday. I've told my manager and I don't think she's taking it very seriously i've asked for 3 days a week and i've been put down for way more. I keep having anxiety attacks at night and sometimes even on the shop floor, I'm not sure what to do should i contact my doctor and get signed off? My work is so understaffed and stressing my out so much and I feel like i don't need this right now considering everything that's going on. I'm not sure if staying at home will do me any good either but I just feel like i'm not being listened to at all. I keep waking up at 3am and hearing my dad cough and go to the toilet and my heart just starts beating so fast and hurting. I think realistically I need to put myself first and stand up for myself but i don't want to lose my job but i'm just really struggling. What's the right thing to say? or when is the right time to get signed off because once this gets even worse at home. idk it's just all a lot. any advice would be amazing. thank you
