Work and endo

Hi so i had a lap to remove large cysts on both ovaries and endo on stomach lining and womb in march i returned to work after 4 weeks, on a 5 week checkup with consultant the cysts had already returned and were measuring at 5cm and 7cm this was also with me being on zoladex injections, having the coil and on hrt (non-estrogen).

I am now in loads of pain, not sleeping, not able to eat much, fatigued all the time and unable to do much. I am currently waiting for another operation with the specialist to have them removed again with a bigger procedure however i have been off work again for 4 weeks due to not being able to move much most days.

Has anyone been in this position? Im just worried work will eventually have enough of me being off and get annoyed with it all.
