Australia is pretty great in this regard. We get leave and sick leave entitlement and in my experience that generally goes unquestioned. Doctors can provide sick certificates.

I personally just got diagnosed with cancer on Saturday. By cob Thursday the cancer will be removed. My employer has been fantastic so far and not questioned my work commitment at all. They basically shooed me out of the building and told me to stop worrying about anything to do with them.

If you are in your 30s please get your nuts inspected... I'm really quite surprised at how not unhealthy I feel given what has been found. I wouldn't have noticed it or found it without the doctor.

Yay....
