Worried about sickness /references

I have recently been offered a job, and have been given a conditional job offer in writing.
This was just over a week ago, and I haven’t heard anything since.
I’m really worried that my job offer will be withdrawn as I had 6 weeks off work about a year ago following my mums terminal cancer diagnosis.
Apart from this in the last 6 years I haven’t had any days off sick at all, it was all at once. Are they likely to withdraw by job offer because of this?

I don't think employers are worried about that sort of time off, it's usually the small unrelated illnesses or days off. Will vary from place to place, can you give them a call or email just to ask how the application is going? Good luck, nothing worse than waiting, sure it's all okay!
