PSA rising whilst on second round of ADT - is this sufficient to file SSD?

[dockam]

Hey gang,

I hope all is well with my PCa Brothers here. My PSA went to 6.7 after restarting ADT in 12/18. Does this qualify for me to apply for SSD? or do I first have to undergo more meds/tx's and then see if that fails. I did search thru the HU site

Are you stage 4 and if so, can your mets be imaged with CT or T99 bone scan?

I had mets to L side ureter Lymph nodes, bone scans were clear. I was offered Axumin scan, but declined back then. If PSA continues to rise, I'll take them up on it

This site provides a lot of details regarding prostate cancer eligibility.... disability-benefits-help.or...

[dockam in reply to ChocoHB]

Thanks this helps a lot: Specifically, to meet the SSA’s prostate cancer listing, your medical records must show one of the following:

The disease has progressed or returned despite initial treatment

Your cancer has metastasized (spread) to internal organs

Consult with an attorney who specializes in SSD claims. No charge to you if they fail to obtain benefits. If your claim is approved, attorney is paid out of your initial benefit,,,with a cap of around 6,000 dollars.

Again, retain only a SSD experienced Attorney,,,check references if you are uneasy.

Visit local SS office and tell them you're an illegal... and by the time you get home they're be a check in your mailbox,......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
