But what message does that send to Bails? "your at least a year out mate, we'll get someone in just in case you don't make it". Replacing someone on maternity leave is quite different to "replacing" someone receiving treatment for cancer. And I do get where you are all coming from, but you've got to stop looking at this as a business decision. They are dealing with a guy here that is fighting for his life. You do anything you can to give him a reason to fight. Not fill his position before they even know the prognosis after treatment.
