Re: Round 2 herceptin/projeta & quit my job..
I applied for social security disability when I was diagnosed stage 4 and received it quickly. In regard to medical coverage, after being on disability for one year I was eligible for medicare. Depending on your financial situation you could also be eligible for Medicaid.
Enjoy each day without the added stress of work. Wishing you the best!
