At just 52 years old, a woman has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. A non-smoker who had worked full-time since age 22, she now faces a terminal illness while trying to support her husband and three children — including one still in middle school. Although she's still working, she knows that may not last much longer.
She recently shared her story on Reddit's r/SocialSecurity forum. She wrote, "Trying to figure out what program(s) I can qualify for through SS… I have tried to research this but it never feels complete."
