Hi Anita210,

I had what Gary had as far as type and location of my cancer. I had surgery while Gary had Chemo and Rad.
I applied for SSDI in early October and was approved in late December. I had a pech muscle from my chest used to reconstruct my throat. I had a PEG tube in for nutrition and I was on quite a bit of meds. I was approved for 1515.00 per month starting in January. No back pay. I will receive my 1st check in late Feb for Jan and each month thereafter. When I feel well enough to return to work I will let them know.

Sure seems like your husband would qualify.

If you need more info please email me and we can exchange phone numbers if you want to.
Best of luck. Danny Boy!!!
