Hi Everyone

 

I have posted on here a number of times now. I had a mastectomy in August last year, radiotherapy ended late November and I have been put into the menopause with hormone treatment with letrozole and zoladex. I am still waiting for my first bisphosphanate infusion too. 

I have been paid in full for 6 months but have a meeting with hr next week. I think it is because ssp will be ending. I was wondering if I can claim Esa? I am really struggling emotionally and with fatigue, as well as the side effects of the hormone treatment. I know I am not ready to go back to work yet. I just really need some advice as I am worrying about the meeting xx
