2. How many hoops can you jump through this year ...

our system is totally dysfunctional, you not only have to worry about the illness, but you also need to navigate through our for profit system.

Sorry this has been another learning curve for you, as if cancer is not enough of a learning curve! I appreciate you sharing your story. My husband started disability after his second transplant (it was approved in three weeks) does he want to earn some money and can he do so within the current system?

The answers are yes and no.

That really sucks! It sucks for the drain on our disability system and it sucks for the patient who is now relegated to doing nothing when they have skills and can be productive.

We need real changes.
