I don't know if its a legal requirement, but I think most people I know have needed time off, and so your employer would probably have to know that you have cancer. And there are going to be days when you're just not up to working. I would think your employer would again have to know that you have been diagnosed with cancer, but I don't know that it would have to be the whole office. I think Human Resources would be able to accommodate you.
