I had to go on disability because I worked for 7up which was a physical job. I had the worst type, aggressive prostate cancer. I worked for awhile after the prosectomy but then found out I had serious bone mets on the back my neck and spine that were crumbling. Many spots on my rib cage. That's when the chemo began and my doctors recommended that I go on disability because of everything. They supplied all the necessary forms and I was approved quickly. Thankfully the Mets on my neck and spine healed thanks to xgeva. I can't lift anything heavy. I ts an ongoing battle but chemo does knock you for a loop. Urinary incontinence is also a problem. Everyone is different but look into everything and decide for yourselves. Good luck.

Hi @jas1961, how did your husband's first chemo treatment go? How are YOU doing?
