Sometimes those types of things come thru with an automated denial then when someone appeals its granted. I guess its all about the money which is a darn shame to me. Dont be surprised if your husband needs to extend his disability. Even the easiest jobs where people dont do much more than sit taking it easy takes alot out of someone who is trying to recover from fighting both cancer and its brutal treatments. Recovery is going to be another hurdle for your husband. Recovery can be a long and frustrating time for patients who can NEVER, not ever get well as quickly as they think they should. I do not want you to worry about that at all!!!! One step at a time and thats all you can do. HE is the one who must get thru his treatments and recovery. While he is recovering... you must take care of yourself! Have a great day
