I'm very sorry to hear about your medical issue & wish you a speedy recovery!
Are you a FT confirmed employee?
I would not worry about what others think because your health is more important. Plus, there will be some kind colleagues in your office as well.
I would focus on your recovery. When you are well, you can ask for extra work or things to show initiative if you are worried. Wish you well!
Thanks for this - yes I am a FT employee.
