Do I tell work the real reason I am off sick?

I was signed off work for one month and I am due back next week. The reason I was off isn't on my sick note my GP put quite a flippant reason.
Should I tell my work the real reason which is I was exhausted due to iron deficiency and also I was waiting for tests results for a possible cancer reoccurrence.
I don't know if I should just give very little information during my return to work interview or if I should be as open as possible. I don't have a manager at the moment so it will be with another manager from a different department.

What does your fit note say? What is the "flippant" reason they don't just sign you off work for anything. If it says "stress/anxiety" but you don't want to go into lots of detail could you just say it was related to underlying health concerns but these have been resolved and treated now? (Has your iron deficiency been sorted).

I don't see why that is a flippant reason at all. If just tell the truth. Why wouldn't you?
