I applied for SSD on June 30th and my application was approved within a few weeks since I have PC with mets to my hip and lower back. There is a 5 month waiting period before you get your first check. The SSD people were very helpful.

Had metastasis to lymph nodes in 2018. Stage 4B. Did fine for 4 years. Now PSA up. Diagnosed at 65. Now 70. I believe some of the guys have been dealing with metastatic PC longer then me.
