Has anyone gone on disability?

[cleoland]

Hi I am currently on short term disability and long term disability. On January 20th long term disability started per my company policy so I am getting both at this moment. short Term disability will end on March 20th if I am still out at that time. I stopped working on Sep 20th. I started chemo in July 2011 and I thought I could work through it all but When I went to work on the 19th I realized I just couldnt do it anymore. I am only stage IIB but had 6 chemo TCH, Herceptin every 3 weeks until July 2012, surgery Nov 30th, pneumonia and infection in hospital 12/13-15/2011 and radiation 6 weeks (next week will be the last). I was planning to return to work on March 1st but I have so much pain in my body. I am not sure I feel ready to return to work. I am also terrified of going back, is weird after working there for 21 years I just dont feel I have the energy anymore. I amtrying to make a decision of what to do next and Iamvery confused.
