Sick leave contact

Hello there & forgive me if this is in the wrong area, I’m currently off sick & undergoing tests & scans for something sinister (C). I’ve been signed off & told my Dom about tests & scans in order to diagnose my issue & wether I had something sinister or not. My Dom has insisted on contacting me after every set of results & asks for a run down of what’s next. (Drs appts, Hospital, further tests & results) is this right? Surely telling him I’m signed off & handing the certificate in is enough. The worry over my diagnosis is stressful & upsetting enough without having to speak to my Dom with every set of results is becoming too much. He’s already made me aware that I will trigger a stage 3 (the stage 2 was triggered when I was off during the summer with what was the start of what is going on now) I returned to work back then but my symptoms returned (or never went). My Anxiety issues have obviously returned & the constant worry is being raised with having to map out my week with the Dom aswell.
Thanks in advance for any advice given & again I apologise if I’ve posted this in the wrong area.

Worrying no doubt and you don't need to tell your dom of your confidential information between you and your doctor's etc, send doctor's certicate and a weekly phone is suffice and your under no obligation to attend a meeting at the office if you don't want to attend

Get your rep involved if you haven't already, as I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be in danger of a stage 3 if it is for the same ailment that earned you a stage 2. Get well any way and try not to worry about work. Typical lack of empathy from managers though im afraid.

You will not trigger a stage 3 as cancer comes under the equality act and this gives you some unique rights

I think twice a week so I can pass on test results & current symptoms is excessive. I even think once a week when there isn’t likely to be any immediate change is excessive, it’s borderline bullying me back to work by using manipulation.
