I had lung cancer and lost my entire right lung-I have copd and only 36% of my lung function left. I have severe arthritis due to intensive chemotherapy. A herniated disc with sciatica. Encephalopothy-fine motor skills and loss of coordination-memory loss. Firomyalgia-chronic and widespread. Torn right rotator cuff. IBS-irratable bowel syndrome. Osteoarthritis-severe in dominate hand.  Doctors have refused to operate on my back and shoulder because they believe I will not survive surgery. My heart has rotated since surgery and have chronic chest pain. Chronic migraines 4-6 times a week. Blurred vision. Chronic depression and Anxiety. These problems have all been diagnosed and documented by specialists(cardiac,neurology,oncology,orthopaedic, rheumatology, internalist, opthamology,thoracic surgeon, psychiatrist and probably some i don't remember!) . My health is rapidly deteriorating and I have been attempting to attain social security disability for over 4 and 1/2 years. I am only 44 years old. I have two sons one 11 and 14. They have lived with these conditions and the lack of my ability to provide adequatly for them. Not only do they watch me decline, they also have to suffer financially. Before I was diagnose with cancer I was a Prosthetic technician studying to become a Prosthetist. I earned a meager 50 k but it was plenty with my wifes income. Now we are dependent just on hers and we can't make ends meet. My disability will not replace my income but will help tremendously. On top of all of this-I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE HARDEST THING TO SWALLOW-THE TREATMENT BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION! EVERYONE I HAVE DELT WITH IN PERSON OR ON THE PHONE ACTS LIKE IM A UN-CREDIBLE FRAUD AND HAS TREATED ME WITH THE MOST DISRESPECT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. NOT ONE OR SOME BUT EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH SOCIAL SECURITY-THEY THINK OF ME AS MERE DIRT UNDER THEIR FINGER NAILS. THANKS FOR READING AND YOUR TIME PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION.
