Re: Has anyone gone on disability?
At the time of my diagnosis (2005) I had a LT disability plan though my university. At that time, I did not have a short term disability plan since I figured any accrued available sick time benefits would get me though the first three months, until the LT plan kicked in. In my case, my university's HR dept. was a huge help. I took off during chemo and started back to work during radiation (now wish I hadn't gone back until after radiation was done as well). Given my situation and the help I got at the university, things went very smoothly for me at the time.
