When I first got diagnosed I was 52. I went in for the prosectomy and was off for maybe 6 weeks. I went back to work and received radiation treatments while I was working. That was part one. After the radiation treatments were done My Urologist told me that I should go on disability because he was sending me to the oncologist, and I was going to have a tough road ahead. I was to have chemotherapy because the scans showed I had bone metastases on my neck and spine. I immediately filed for disability with the the help of my doctors and it was approved the first time. I filled out the papers myself. I did read that Stage 4 Prostate cancer is approved for disability.
