Now he is 56, in remission ( but with tons of side effects courtesy of chemo)
We had no problems at all with SS
We had no need for a lawyer.
Your situation might be different, of course.
But he never went back to work
In corporate America once you have been on long term disability for 12 months, they terminate you.
Prayers going your way.
BTW
We have a friend who has stage 4 lung cancer ( diagnosed over a yr ago) , skinny but alive and relatively fine.

Did your husband apply for the disability while he was still working... my husband is getting sicker each day.. I know it is the chemo.. he also has it in his shoulder and spine..
