Joel,

So are you currently still working? If not when did you quit?

I posted this on your other thread before I read your treatment schedule.

Joel,
I'm a programmer also and don't see why you wouldn't be able to concentrate. Working allowed me to block out the fact I had cancer by keeping my mind occupied. However, you will probably be too sick to work at least after the first couple of weeks. I didn't have have chemo but did work the first two weeks. Day 9 the radiation knocked me off my feet and I was down for the count and on disability until I returned to work 3 weeks after radiation.

I can't imagine my your doctor would have filled the form that way. Maybe he is waiting for the treatment to make you ill before he will put you on disability? Let us know what happpens.

Take care,
Eileen

P.S. If you are still eating food in week six, you are doing a lot better than most of us.
