Short/Long Term Disability

[july181998]

Hi All,

I just have a general question for those of you who've had resections or their entire colons removed. Did you have to apply for short/long term disability? What was the most time allowed off work from your employer before the disability kicked in. I will be having my colon removed in a couple of months (I have AFAP) and I am trying to prepare myself financially as well as trying to find out about my other options.

Thanks,

Ann

Ann, everything depends on your insurance plan so you should check
with your employer's insurance rep.

My short term is 6 months and my long term is 18. I am a 64 year old
stage 4 and will be ready for retirement by the time my disability
runs out.

Like I said, be sure to check with your employer, and good luck to you.
