I feel like this should be illegal, but man, like. I can't find anything that suggests it is. Mom was diagnosed with cancer recently, it's not great but it's not like, super life-threatening. We almost kind of wish it was. (We don't, by the way. She got lucky.) She has doctor's appointments, she has scans she has to do when time opens for her to be able to do them on short notice. The type of cancer she has is 'aggressive' so the docs are doing everything they can as quickly as possible. Her work originally told her she could take a leave of absence. But because the treatment plan is suggesting it'd take like 18 months to complete, they suddenly were like “Whoa we can only support a leave of absence for 6 months”.

You are blowing these employers' heads up. They churn and burn through us and treat us like shit because we accept less than the bare minimum and we are seen as desperate for less than a living wage. $17/hr isn't even enough, but it gets the ball rolling and it's the principle that counts. If it's possible for you depending on your state and country, hold out for a better offer. We are late on reform and the time to manipulate the system was years ago.
