Post-Cancer Fatigue Disability Claims
Nothing can be as devastating as a cancer diagnosis. The news of a cancer diagnosis can be stressful and overturn your world. Cancer is a terrifying health condition that can cause physical, emotional, and psychological pain. Many cancer survivors continue to struggle long after treatment ends.
The treatment regime for cancer is grueling and stressful. Completion of treatment doesn’t always mean that life returns to normal. Treatment for several forms of cancer, including breast cancer, is intrusive and leaves individuals with enduring side effects that affect their ability to function effectively for many months or even years post treatment. One of the most common and overlooked challenges during cancer survivorship is ongoing fatigue.
Cancer Therapy Fatigue Post Treatment
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery are cancer treatments that take a significant toll on the body and can affect a person’s ability to work for months or years after treatment stops. This form of cancer therapy fatigue is often described as cancer related fatigue, a persistent and overwhelming exhaustion and physical symptom burden that is not relieved by rest and can have a serious impact on daily activities and employment.
Many cancer patients require long-term disability benefits to cover the treatment process and its aftermath. However, insurance providers are generally reluctant to extend benefits beyond the active treatment phase, even when this chronic fatigue syndrome continues to limit a person’s functional capacity during the post treatment survivorship period.
