Hi Tweezer, you have so much to deal with at the moment, you certainly don't need your boss to bully you into using your annual leave for time off in treatment. As an EA you probably contribute to a superannuation program, even if you don't make extra contributions, the employer side of super usually includes income protection insurance.

It takes a while to sort out your treatment plan and get an idea of whether you have enough sick leave. Then give your superannuation provider a call and enquire about income protection insurance. Wishing you all the best as you start out on this stressful time, know that you are not alone, we are here for you xXx
