Hi @philcarly ... that's good that it is not a GP's office ... I am really disappointed that they aren't more sympathetic to your needs just now - I am so sorry that you think 'work' is getting tired of your illness & necessity to have appointments ..... I think that Workplace Discrimination (or you feeling you are being bullied into leaving the job) is not 'legal' at all ... check this info out with the Cancer Council

Yes, it would be difficult to move back in with your parents ...
Most posts on Income Protection and Workplace Discrimination are 'older threads' but they may still have valuable information for you ..... and maybe also call our Helpline today or tomorrow so you don't stew over it over the weekend (Mon-Fri 9-5pm) as I am sure they are more up to date on these issues. You shouldn't be feeling so stressed (akin to bullying/mental abuse!) just because you've been ill.

I am going fine, thank you - just normal 'aging problems', knees, hips - the 'normal' .... I have less than a year to go on AIs - so looking forward to going off them!!
take care & all the best - I hope you can come to a similar arrangement to @Blossom1961, where work hours may suit both you and your boss .... fingers & toes crossed xx
