I have so many of you to thank. I just happened to go online to see my bank account and saw that yesterday -- two (2) weeks after applying for disability benefits with Social Security -- there was a deposit for backpay to last May. Hurrah! I hadn't even received an approval letter or call from Social Security. I got the money first! This is truly unbelievable -- even in Georgia, it works!
Thanks again to everyone who encouraged me and supported me and provided information. I highly recommend it to others!

God bless!

Gosh, I have no idea what my doctor said or sent to Social security. I assume just my original diagnosis and details of what he found when he operated. (Cancer being in my colon and impacting 4 of my 7 lymph nodes.) I did consult with another oncologist who saw my CT scan, and another doctor who also saw my CT, so I don't know. From what I could tell, the fact that it had gone into my colon made it definite. That is considered outside the ovaries, so at least, initially metastisis. With you having a reoccurrence, I wouldn't think there'd be any question.
