Jacqui,
He is trying it on! Firstly I have never heard of stress causing a
recurrance of cancer and secondly it can't be that stressful working the odd
weekend - millions do it without problem. Like many others, I guess he has
a "friendly" GP.
Have you tried any of the cancer websites - BACUP for example?

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] shift changes and cancer
Hi
the distribution staff are undergoing major shift pattern changes over the
next few weeks as changes in business processes mean the business is going
to be more efficient and stock will be leaving the warehouses 7 days per
week.
a group of staff have always been employed on "5 of 7" contracts which
have traditionally been mon-fri and now the company want them to work
weekends.
as part of one young chaps consultation he has submitted a letter from his
doctor saying he has been previously treated for skin cancer and is in
remission and working on a weekend will significantly increase the risk of
his cancer recurring due to stress of not being with his family on a
weekend.
your opinions please (i know the DDA applies!)
i am on a time frame of 1 week too!
jacqui
