Janie,
Gawd, I can only imagine the fear and panic you must be feeling right now. I had just a tiny taste, and it freaked my ass right out. What can I do that will help you feel better? I'm sorry work is being nonsupportive--too many times managers get into a "souls on board" mentality and don't really see that you would just as soon NOT have to take time off and inconvenience their body count. That's what FAMLA is all about tho, and use it if you have to....that's why it's there.
Keep talking, keep staying with us, keep sharing your fear, as sharing it diminishes its power. We love you and care about you.
