And this is literally why people like myself hide my cancer from my employer.

US discrimination laws are a fucking joke.

I don't know about that. He took like four months off for cancer treatment. And he's going to need to take more off for more treatment. Not sure how you can hide that from your employer.

Aren't you allowed to provide a doctor's note that does not specify the ailment?

After you spend down your allotted PTO, yes.

Mildly surprised that someone in a position at that level wouldn’t have at minimum short term disability coverage, at least as an option. It’s hardly expensive.
