I would check your company's HR policies or handbook. I do not think they have the right to ask those types of question. When I went out for surgery (the surgery that kicked off the MG), my boss did not even ask for the details, she knew she wasn't supposed to and I did not offer any details either. All the paperwork went from my doctor right to our employee health services department. The only info that she received was my expected return to work date.

In our employee handbook, it stated how long they would hold my position and after a certain time, they would only guarantee an equivalent position. I guess I am very lucky.

I hope things work out for you.
