I still kind of appreciate the devilish side of things here. I don’t know if this counts, but I signed up for the local Moving Forward course, and needed some time off.
You’d need to know my line manager, who thinks there is no grey in this life, and you shall not veer from the rules written in stone.
But I knew if I mentioned the cancer word in the request I’d get a nice ‘of course you can’ reply. And I did.

Shiel, that’s a bit like terrifying one’s male boss with any mention of gynaecological matters. Used to have my boss running for the hills!

the moving forward course could be considered part of your ongoing treatment and therefore protected anyway… I go to a young women’s cancer group once a month and as far as I’m concerned it’s a necessary part of treatment as it keeps me sane and that your work agreeing to these session might well be the thing that keeps you at work and functioning better than if you were perhaps not allowed to go and it would maybe mean you didn’t move on and needed more time off until you were able to.
