Very well put. I was surprised when I found that out. I'm in that situation now. Oncologist tells me he does not believe I'll ever be cured, but he also believes I'll live another 35 years with a pretty good quality of life. My biggest problem is holding on to health insurance. :-)
Yeah! That’s a bummer. I’m 63 and working full time. My Doctor tells me that with Stage 4 Colon Cancer that has metastasized in my liver that he will sign the letter anytime that would qualify me as 100% disabled. I guess that would mean that I would get full Social Security benefits and qualify for Medicare or something, but I enjoy working. This way I have far better benefits than the Government can offer.
