Hi

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 21st June grade 2 invasive breast cancer.

I haven't worked since 15th June. I have varied tests, recovery, further tests, diagnosis, breast conserving surgery which has been very slow recovery. I hit week 4 and today had further surgery to get a better healthy margin. 

Each week since 21st June I have had 2 - hospital trips for nurses, consultants, physio etc.

Today as I was trying to relax before my second surgery I received to my personal email from work out of blue email asking for drs notes and then  further email for me to give apporval for occupational health to be involved. 

It took me by surprise and actually really stressed me out as moment later the team arrived to take me down and I burst into tears stressing over my job and the fear of surgery.

I have kept them in loop every step, giving them copies letters and they knew I had my surgery today and infact other than my boss emailing me replies "pls do not worry on work concentrate on your health" so I have done this. HR have made no attempt to contact me at all ove this stressful time which is shocking until today knowing that i had surgery day. I feel quite let down and will make this clear to occupational health.

Just so you know 5yrs I gave ago to twins and loss one of my babies sleeping so they knew how stressful the surgery has been on me emotionally.

s there anything I should expect at this meeting? And am I in right to feel upset by them?

At moment I am now on 6 week recovery and next week will be advised if chemotherapy or will start after recovery the radiotherapy and physio gives approval. 

I plan to return to work I am a PA and I love my job but not until I am ready abd give my full support to my directors.

Thanks for taking time.
