Not to be a downer, but Kevin was off work 6 months and that was pretty fast from what our Drs told us. I guess it depends on what you do though. He works on the Artic Slope in Alaska 3 weeks at a time, so he had to have some stamina before he could go back. I know there are others that have worked through some of tx and gone back shortly after because they had a position that allowed for that.
Don't forget to have the social worker at your cc help you apply for ss disability. It won't start for 6 months, but if you're approved you have that to fall back on. We were approved 1 month from applying. I really think it is because it went to them from the Cancer Center. We did it online but she put her name in as the person doing it for Kevin and then she mailed all the records for us too. I know others who have to fight like crazy or just don't get it. Just something to think about. It's worth asking about.
