To extend my fit note

[user675319]

I was diagnosed and treated for cancer during the pandemic and have been off sick for the last seven months. Last week I decided that it was time to return to work when my fit note runs out next week but then I had a scan and there has been changes to some lymph nodes that my consultant is concerned about. I feel so anxious about it.

AIBU to extend my fit note

I think you need to ask your doctors advice here.

YANBU your health comes first

it might be good to distract yourself with being back at work, seeing colleagues, keeping busy etc

Hope lymph nodes turn out to be nothing

No, yanbu at all!

Of course you aren't being unreasonable.

Sorry my fat sausage fingers pressed post too soon. I hope it turns out to be nothing, take care of yourself - you come first.

Why would that be unreasonable?

I would take the advice of your consultant/GP/CNS. I know it must be driving you batty being stuck at home but your professionals will know what's best here.

Yes, absolutely, you need to extend your sick note.
Your health comes first .
