Ask HN: Diagnosed with a incurable chronic disease, should I tell my employer?

I've been diagnosed with an incurable chronic disease a few days ago. I don't know yet the severity of my case as more tests are needed. Most likely I'll still be able to physically perform my job (SWE in big tech company) in the next few years. Right now, I'm pretty shocked and I'm not sure I'll be able to work at my fullest until the situation stabilises. Should I tell my manager and my team about this? or simply take a sick leave? I know there are laws against this, but I'm worried this plays against me.
