Hello everyone,

Do any of you have experience with receiving disability? I was recently awarded disability under the Compassionate Care Allowance, (with Stage 4 brain mets they dont expect you to live a long time) It's a small amount, not enough to live on but it is a guaranteed monthly income. if I accept it, I am then limited to how much income I can bring in each month from employment.


My dilemma is: do I accept the guaranteed amount, and then limit my work hours, or do I turn it down with the belief that I will be one of the long term survivors who is still able to work?

Either way, my income still won't cover all the bills. And, I have no sick pay or vacation, so no work=no pay.

Ladies with mets.....are you still able to work? What has been your experience with long term treatment effects? I am just beginning this mets journey....not sure what to expect.

Thanks!!
