SHANNON, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I CALLED THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK. THE PERSON I TALKED TO ON THE PHONE SAID SOME PEOPLE DO QUALIFY FOR DISABILITY EVEN WORKING PART-TIME. HE TOLD ME WHAT INFORMATION TO HAVE (NAMES OF DOCTORS, HOSPITALS, TREATMENTS I HAVE RECEIVED & PLACES I RECEIVED TREATMENT, BIRTH CERTIFICATE, WORK HISTORY, MEDICATIONS). HE SAID I WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO COME TO THE OFFICE THAT THEY WOULD SET IT UP FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME AT HOME AND GET MY INFORMATION. I HOPE I QUALIFY AND IT DOESNT TAKE MONTHS OR YEARS TO PROCESS. I'M REALLY STRESSED ABOUT THIS, HOW CAN I SUPPORT MYSELF ON 25 HOURS. I AM SINGLE AND STRUGGLING TO STAY INDENPENDENT. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE QUIT WORK ALL TOGETHER TO QUALIFY FOR DISABILITY. PHYSICALLY I AM ABLE TO WORK PART-TIME AND I'M DOING FINE ON MY TREATMENT OF HERCEPTIN. ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY I QUALIFY FOR SOME KIND OF HELP. THANKS FOR LISTENING. SHEILA
