Advice needed please regarding leave from work during radiotherapy

Hi @Silba and @Romla,
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond, especially on Good Friday.
I will definitely take the extra days off, and thank you both for sharing your story and advice, I am very grateful.
The people on this network are truly amazing, as many have said before me, this is a place no one wants to be, but goodness, the kindness and support is incredible. 
Best wishes to you both!
