I posted this in a buried forum but I wanted to post this more visibly as I could use some advice.
I assumed that the entire time I'm on chemo-rad tx that I'd be covered under short-term disability.
My radiologist put "Not applicable" for "date patient was totally disabled unable to work". Being a programmer, I need my mental faculties and I have to admit, I have neither the brainpower right now nor the physical stamina to go to work every day.
Does anyone have any experiences with this?
TIA (Thanks in Advance)
