Hi sorry that you are being harassed like this, hospital appointments for this type of thing should be allowed. I had many breast ect appointments when l was working and just took the appointment time off with out any problems or docking of payments. 
l would have thought that it could be booked as an medical appointment  or sick leave without the need for a disciplinary action. Have you spoken to your union they a great with this type of problem? 
Some managers don't really know procedures as well as they should have a word with occupational health, as you may need further sick leave. 
My son in law is having similar issues over booking overtime worked with his manager. He's worked the hours !  Instead of showing him how to book his hours it he's being reprimanded.  He's now on sick leave with stress. still waiting for it to be sorted out. 
I hope you have this sorted out soon as you don't need this when you are worried.

take care

Hi,

Were/are you on sick leave with a note from your doctor? If so, your manager shouldn't be treating you this way. Do you have a union you can contact? 

If you had a confirmed diagnosis of cancer you would be covered under the Disability Act and employers have to treat an employee carefully. Unfortunately the Act doesn't cover those undergoing tests for cancer.

I am on sick leave due to my anxiety over it, I didn't have the easiest job when it comes to stress 

I just think it was highly inappropriate to cc me into an email saying on my return I will be punished when he knows full well why I'm off 

thanx for the reply x

It sounds to me that you have a manager who has no management skills. Does your HR have an Occupational Health manager that you can contact? If not, and you don't have a union, contact Citizens Advice to find out your employment rights regarding sick leave and disciplinary. I'm hoping that your manager has used inappropriate language and actually means it's a meeting to see if your employer can provide any assistance to help you return to work and make your job easier.

Good luck.

Did you get this issue resolved?
