I am still working full time. My doctor does not want me to. They found a tumor next to my lung last February, surprise! It's benign and hasn't grown. I did finally apply for disability. They have rejected me twice. I am now waiting again after my appeal.

A tumor eroded one of my vertebrae. The result was a broken back. After the CT scan in the emergency room. The ER doctor told me I was one step away from being paralyzed.
