Hello everyone.Its so nice to find this place.I had my right lung removed a little over 3 years ago and so far i have had ned scans altho my last one was in dec. and my next one is this dec.I worked at my job for 23 years but lost it because of the long recovery i had. I was just informed that I lost my long term disability from work(which didnt amount to much) because my onco report said I was in remission and my prognosis is good. The thing I worry about now is my social security disability.Altho I hope and pray I remain ned my breathing is no where close to what it used to be.Sometimes i get winded just doing simple things. And I know the only jobs that I would be able to do or that would hire me would not pay nothing and most likely not offer me insurance.And then if my cancer would return i would not have anything. Do they take all this in when they review your case every 3 years. I feel good most of the time and feel like I can do what I used to do but when I get up and start getting physical thats when my body reminds me Im not what I used to be. I am by no means trying to hustle the system and would love to go back to the way things were before cancer. Has anyone here had there disability or medicare dropped only to have their cancer to reoccur. Thanks alot. Replys most welcome.
