No paragraphs in my long post


Posted: Feb 2, 2013

My long self-pitying post was rendered unreadable by the loss of paragraphs but I did have a question. I was wondering if anyone out there worked full time while undergoing chemotherapy? I was denied SSDI and then denied again on appeal as they feel that a person with cancer, who has undergone abdominal exenteration and is undergoing months of chemotherapy is not sick enough to warrant disability and should be able to work full time as a medical transcriber (which I absolutely cannot do.) ;

Just a - question

Does your company offer short-term or long-term disability? I did not read your other post, so I don't know your situation. I'm thinking, by your post, you applied for Social Security Disability Insurance, just a thought. I do know my sister had cancer and went through chemo and radiation, and she could not work. She is an IC, so did not have any sort of benefit through her job, but did not try SSDI, as they were able to make it on her husband's salary. I feel bad for you and your situation. My prayers are with you.

My prayers are with you....and I think - you have the right to a long

self-pitying post, considering all you have been through!! When you applied for SSDI, did you have a disability attorney do the filing? If not, try finding one. You may be better off with one of them. Many do not require payment until SSDI is secured. Keep trying. SSDI does not often accept these claims...many times for years, but you need to be persistent. Find a good disability attorney and appeal again, and again, and again...no matter how long it takes. Don't give up! You deserve it! (many don't and they still get coverage, which is really sad!). I wish you very much luck!

You do have to be disabled for 5 months before - FBL

SSDI will start, unless they have changed that since I last worked with it (over 10 years ago, so quite possible.) I agree you should get an attorney or at least a paralegal to help you refile. Didn't see your original post, but I hope things get better for you financially and healthwise.

Two suggestions - anon

First, go back and talk to the hospital's social worker service, especially since they helped you file the first set of papers. Tell them about your other issues too--they should at least be able to provide you some information on other places to go for help.

I strongly recommend that you find a cancer support group as well and attend some meetings.

You have options - sm

Do you have a social networking site where you can reach a lot of people? This would pull on heartstrings and get some attention for sure. I have no doubt you would have donations pouring in for your disability. Your state and federal services have failed you, and a lot of people relate to that. Find a charitable law firm that will fight on your behalf, find a charity center that have volunteers who will care for you if you don't have anyone. Like I said below, you need to be resting and getting your health back, not worrying about going back to work or fighting for what should be yours.

I think we can all agree we have been duped by all our politicians at every level.

After Reading The Jesus Is Coming Post And Then Hare Krishna Mantra Post...Apr 21, 2010
I was wondering exactly what kind of "faith" board this is. The poster, Catherine, in the Jesus is Coming thread felt this was the "wrong forum" for posting one's religious beliefs while another posterior in that thread says that this "faith" board is meant to be all inclusive meaning persons of all faiths can post their beliefs here. I guess I wrongly assumed that the use of the word "faith" meant Christianity as it is my belief that Christianity is the only valid belief system worshiping ...

How Long Should I Ask To Take Off For HysterectomyAug 25, 2016

Needless to say with my lowly wages as a transcriptionist I could not afford it. She has become miss high and mighty e ...

Question......how do you keep the "sparks" alive in your marriage?  I have been married for 20 years and I do love my husband with every bit of me, BUT the romance aspect is just gone.  He tries to do romantic things for me, but I guess it's more that the "attraction" is gone in a way, it is so confusing.  Like, my husband and I are still intimate, but we don't kiss or flirt or anything like that.  It almost just feels like he is a family member or something.   ...
