Hey all, You guys are the best support a girl could hope for. Thank you all for the info. I found out that he has recently (within a few weeks) gotten his Social Security, but was denied disability from the government. His doctor is writing-wrote him a letter-just this week, and is sending it to whoever they send it to.
He told my dad that the patient before him had the same situation. He had been denied, and that he'd written the guy a letter,and it was reviewed and the guy got his disability. I guess they don't get it the first time around or something. Maybe if "they" all got cancer "they" would get it. All I can do is cross my fingers and get in line right? Thanks everyone.

PS By the way PeteyB if I every get around to making "WTF" shirts I'll send you one!
