Hi all FYI
I had my follow from the surgery up at the hospital yesterday morning ! The good news is that the tumour was cancerous and tge surgery was a total success 
my blood shows no sign of further cancer! But I have had a Hematomas which has put my recovery back further this happens over Christmas, I have another month to get myself back to work, I have a meeting on Friday with a company which do a similar type of work and role type I was doing on Friday , a colleague went to work for them and he feels they will offer me the position, but I am unsure where J stand with my current employer I have only been there 4 months and off sick for 2 of them ?? I should of stated that the current job is very physical and I will not be able to carry out the role, this is 80% of the role so it will not be something I could do there is no light work to speak of .

Glad it was a success.
I do hope 2023 is better for you.
I can’t offer advice about your job but would hope your current employers can help you, I am sure most ( not all) would rather help you than recruit again

Great news on your hospital follow up @Gazza_64 Hearing those words must have been such a relief! Onwards and upwards now eh.
Sorry I can’t offer any help on the job situation but I think @Bonzo2020 is right. Have a chat to them and see what they say, they might turn out to be really helpful

I’m really pleased it was successful @Gazza_64, I really hope either Company comes through for you mate 
Good luck on your continuing recovery @Gazza_64 and maybe have a word with your current employer to see if they can help whilst you get back to full health. If not, the prospective new job might be the best option.
I know you are a similar age to me, and it’s hard to accept that we aren’t the spring chickens we once were.
I am currently realising this myself, and feel i need to prioritise my own wellbeing over my job.
Good luck in whatever you decide!
