WWYD? Work/Health related

I have no suggestions for you but wish you well and hope for "your" cure.
I was diagnosed in 2004 and stopped work the entire time I was treated, from September to this September. I could never5 have worked during treatments, I was wiped out. I don't know how you did it.
I was eligable for disability after being out of work for 6 months so I was very poor during that time. Thank heavens I had charge cards because I used them to buy food. My dad died about 3 months before my diagnosis so I used my portion of his estate to pay off the bills when it came through.
I was not elible for SS benefits because they said cancer is not a permanent disability and they only give benefits for permanant disabilities.
Good luck, and look for the light at the end of the tunnel, it is there, I found it after a long hard walk. Peggie

Yeah, that's what I learned yesterday about disability. By the time I get it I won't need it anymore! There are no children at home without 4 legs and fur so we can't get anything from DFS and DS makes waaaay too much for food stamps. I'm going to look for more of a sedentary job. I actually haven't worked except occasional under the table things since my first treatment. It's a good compromise to find more of a "butt" job. At least I think so.
