Treating Prostate Cancer that Leads to Disability

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, disability benefits could be available if your condition is severe and prevents you from continuing to work. To learn what your options are, you should consult with a South Florida disability claim lawyer.

When cancer strikes and you are unable to work, you may be concerned about the medical bills. Treatment for prostate cancer can be expensive; however, Social Security disability benefits can help when you are no longer able to work.

Treatment of prostate cancer will depend on the stage of cancer that you have. There may be a variety of options available, which a doctor can discuss with you.

Prostate Cancer Treatment

The following are some of the treatment options for various stages of prostate cancer. 

• watchful waiting;
• external beam radiation therapy;
• internal radiation therapy;
• clinical trials (high-intensity focused ultrasound, proton beam radiation therapy);
• hormone therapy; and
• radical prostatectomy (with or without pelvic lymphadenectomy).  

If you were diagnosed with prostate cancer, the disability description according to Social Security Administration may indicate if you qualify for disability benefits. However, to better understand if you are eligible, it is best to speak with a South Florida disability claim lawyer.
