Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Leukemia is one of several different cancers that affect your blood and/or bone marrow. It is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of blood cells that are usually leukocytes (white blood cells).

The term “leukemia” may refer to a wide group of diseases. Leukemia is divided into groups and categories both pathologically and clinically. The first division is between the chronic and acute forms of leukemia. The type of blood cell that leukemia affects is the next division.

This division is between lymphocytic and myelogenous leukemia. Lymphocytic leukemias include acute lymphocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is one of the types of myelogenous leukemia. It affects your bone marrow and blood.

Acute myelogenous leukemia gets its name from the word “acute” which indicates that the disease develops rapidly and affects immature blood cells, rather than mature blood cells. “Myelogenous” is a reference to a group of white blood cells called the myeloid cells that the disease affects. These cells normally develop into various kinds of mature blood cells like white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.

Acute myelogenous leukemia is known by several other names. It is called acute myeloid leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

Over 10,000 new cases of acute myelogenous leukemia are diagnosed every year in the United States. It is more common in whites than in other races. Men are more likely than women to get acute myelogenous leukemia.

The incidence of acute myelogenous leukemia increases with age. The median onset age is 65. It is the most common acute form of leukemia that affects adults, although it can develop at any time at any age.

In the early stages of acute myelogenous leukemia, it may affect you or appear like flu or other common illnesses. The effects can be different depending on the kind of blood cell the disease is affecting. Some of the effects may be:

Pain or tenderness in your bones
Shortness of breath that increase with physical activity
Weight loss
Bleeding from your nose
Skin lesion or rash
Fever
Fatigue and lethargy
Abnormal menstrual periods in women
Bleeding from your gums
Bruising easily
Paleness
Frequent infections.

These effects produced by acute myelogenous leukemia may be where you are unable to work. It may be the cause of your disability.

Do you need help? Do you need financial help?

Have you applied for assistance from the Social Security Administration for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by acute myelogenous leukemia? Were you denied?

If you appeal the denial, remember this. You will need an established disability lawyer like the one at socialsecurityhome.com in this process. The reason for this is because people represented by an experienced disability attorney are approved more often than people without a lawyer.

Castleman Disease and Receiving Social Security Disability

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Castleman disease is an illness that involves your lymph nodes and other immune-cell structures in your body. It can develop in a localized or more widespread form.

Castleman disease is classified as a lymphoproliferative disorder. This indicates that it involves an abnormal overgrowth or proliferation of your lymphatic cells.

Even though Castleman disease is not looked at as a cancer, it is in many ways like lymphomas or cancers of your lymphatic system. In fact, many people with this disease go on to develop lymphomas.

Castleman disease is known also by other names. It was previously called “Castleman’s disease.” It is also called giant lymph node hyperplasia and angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia.

The disease gets its name from Dr. Benjamin Castleman. He first described this disease in 1956.

Little is known about the incidence of Castleman disease except that it is rare. It affects both men and women, as well as adults and children. Castleman disease can occur at any age.

There are two basic types of Castleman disease. They are unicentric and multicentric Castleman disease. The effect of these two types of the disorder on people is vastly different.

Unicentric Castleman disease is the localized form of the disease. This means that it affects only one lymph node.

Most of the people with unicentric Castleman disease experience no effects. Usually, the disease is present in your abdomen or chest. When you are affected, you may experience:

Night sweats
Weight loss
Anemia that may show up in a blood test
A feeling of pressure or fullness in your abdomen or chest that may cause you problems in eating or breathing
Low-grade fever.

Multicentric Castleman disease is much more serious. You will usually have systemic effects from it. Some of these are:

Malaise (general feeling of discomfort)
Enlarged spleen or liver
Night sweats
Fatigue or weakness from anemia
Fever
Nerve damage in your feet and hands that develops in weakness or numbness (peripheral neuropathy)
Weight loss
Enlargement of you peripheral lymph nodes, typically around your groin, underarm, collarbone and neck areas.

Castleman disease and/or complications resulting from or along with it may be why you or a loved one is unable to work. This disease may be the cause of your disability.

If this is true, you or your loved one may need help. You may need financial assistance.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by Castleman disease and/or complications resulting from or along with it? Were you or your loved one denied?

If you or your loved one plans to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, remember this. People who are represented by a skilled disability attorney like the one at Social Security Home are approved more often than those without a lawyer.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

The soft tissues of your body surround, connect and support other body structures and organs of your body. These soft tissues include blood vessels, synovial tissues (the lining of your joints), tendons, fat, nerves and muscle.

Soft tissue sarcoma is a type of cancer that starts in your soft tissue. Some of the tumors that form in your soft tissues are not malignant (cancer). Tumors that are not cancer are referred to as benign. The tumors that are malignant are cancer. There are around 50 different types of soft tissue sarcomas.

Even though there are many different kinds of soft tissue sarcomas, they usually have the same characteristics. They usually have signs and symptoms that are similar, and they are usually treated in similar ways.

Fortunately, soft tissue sarcoma is rare. Somewhere around 10,000 cases of this disease are diagnosed in the United States each year. This means that they account for less than 1% of all new cancer cases that are diagnosed each year in the United States.

Soft tissue sarcoma can originate almost anywhere in your body. Around 60% develop in your legs, arms, feet and hands. 20% originate in your abdomen and chest and 15% in your neck and head area.

Soft tissue sarcoma is caused by mutations (defects) that occur in the cells in your soft tissue. However, in most cases no one knows what causes these mutations to occur.

One of the cases of soft tissue sarcoma where the cause is known is Kaposi’s sarcoma. This soft tissue sarcoma develops in people who have a defective immune system. The cause is a virus that is referred to as human herpes virus 8 (HHV8).

As with many other forms of cancer, soft tissue sarcoma does not usually cause any signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When signs and symptoms do occur, you may experience:

A noticeable swelling or lump
Excessive sweating
Swelling
Unintentional weight loss
Fatigue
Fever
Pain, if the sarcoma presses on your muscles or nerves
Gastrointestinal bleeding
A blockage in your intestines or stomach.

You or your loved one may have been diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma. This disease and/or complications resulting from it may be the cause of your disability and need of financial assistance.

Are you or your loved one intending to apply for financial help from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by soft tissue sarcoma and/or complications resulting from this disease? Have you or your loved one done this already and been denied?

If you plan on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration, always remember. People who have a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Throat Cancer and Receiving Social Security Disability

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Cancer is much bigger than one disease. It is a large group of diseases. Cancer is characterized by cells that are invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue), aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of the body).

There are many different forms of cancer. They are usually named by where they begin in your body. For example, esophageal cancer begins in your esophagus. Breast cancer begins in your breast. Even though cancer may spread to other places in your body, it is still named for where it began.

Throat cancer is one of the kinds of cancer. It is cancer that develops in your pharynx (throat) or larynx (voice box).

Have you or your loved one applied for financial help from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by throat cancer and/or complications resulting from throat cancer. Have you or your loved one been denied?

If you or your loved one appeals the denial by the Social Security Administration, think carefully about this. People who have a disability lawyer standing with them like the one at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Your cells are the building blocks of your body. This is where cancer originates. If your body is working properly, old cells die at the right time and new cells replace them when you need them. However, sometimes old cells do not die like they ought to and new cells are produced when you do not need them.

A tumor (mass) can begin with these excess cells. These tumors can be either benign or malignant. They are not cancer if they are benign. They are cancer if they are malignant.

Somewhere around 24,000 people are diagnosed with throat cancer each year in the United States. About half of these are in the pharynx. The rest develop in the larynx. Throat cancer is also known by other names. It is also called laryngeal cancer, vocal cord cancer and cancer of the glottis.

Men get throat cancer 10 times as often as women. The majority of throat cancers occur after age 50.

There are several signs and symptoms that you may have with throat cancer. These include:

Dramatic, unintentional weight loss
Problem with swallowing
Abnormal (high-pitched) sounds while you are breathing
Lumps or swelling in your neck
Chronic cough
Coughing up blood
Chronic sore throat that does not improve with antibiotics
Pain in your neck
Chronic hoarseness that does not improve
Lump or sore that does not heal
Ear pain.

Ovarian Cancer and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, June 18th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Ovarian cancer is cancer that starts in your ovaries. Cancer is named by where it begins in your body. No matter where it may spread (metastasize) in your body, it is nearly always named by where it began.

Your ovaries are wonderful glands that are part of your female reproductive system. Your ovaries are about the shape and size of an almond. They are located right above your fallopian tubes. There is one ovary on each side of your uterus. Either your right or left ovary produces a single mature egg for fertilization each month during what is known as ovulation.

Ovarian cancer can only occur in women because ovaries are exclusively a part of your female reproductive system. It is the 8^th most common cancer in women. However, ovarian cancer is the 5^th leading cause of cancer death in women. It accounts for about 3% of all cancers in women. Your chance of getting ovarian cancer in your lifetime is about 1 in 71.

Ovarian cancer used to be known as a “silent killer”. This is because like many other cancers it was not thought to cause any signs and symptoms until it had reached an advanced stage and spread to other parts of your body. However, recently, new evidence has revealed that most women experience signs and symptoms even in the early stages of this disease.

The signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer are nonspecific and are similar to other conditions that are more common. Because of this, a woman may be misdiagnosed with things like stress, depression or irritable bowel syndrome.

The thing that may be an indication of ovarian cancer is when the signs and symptoms are persistent, instead of coming and going; and when they gradually get worse over time. Some of these signs and symptoms are:

Pelvic pain or discomfort
Any unexplained change in your bowel habits like constipation
Urgency in urinating
Indigestion, nausea or gas that is persistent
Abdominal swelling, pressure, bloating or fullness
Changes in urinary habits like frequent urination
Vomiting and nausea
Indigestion
Unexplained back pain that gets worse with time
Lack of appetite
Unintended weight loss or gain
Vaginal bleeding.

You or a loved one may have ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer may be why you are disabled and in need of financial help.

You or your loved one may have applied for financial assistance from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by ovarian cancer. Were you or your loved one denied?

If you or your loved one appeals the denial by the Social Security Administration, remember this. People who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability lawyer.

Please do not delay. Contact the disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Leukemia is a term that can refer to any one of several different cancers that affect your blood and/or bone marrow. It is evidenced by an abnormal accumulation of blood cells. These are usually leukocytes (white blood cells).

Leukemia can also refer to a wide spectrum of diseases. Leukemia is divided clinically and pathologically into categories and groups. Acute and chronic types of leukemia are the first division.

The next division of leukemia is based on the type of blood cell that it affects. These are lymphocytic and myelogenous leukemia.

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is a type of lymphocytic leukemia. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the other type of lymphocytic leukemia.

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is one of the types of myelogenous leukemia. Chronic myelogenous leukemia is the other type of myelogenous leukemia. They both affect your blood and bone marrow.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia is an uncommon form of cancer. It gets its name from “chronic”, which means that it advances more slowly than the acute types of cancer, and “myelogenous” that indicates the kind of cells that are affected.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia is also called other things. It is also referred to as chronic granulocytic leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia.

This disease usually affects older adults, but it can happen at any age. Children are rarely affected by chronic myelogenous leukemia. According to the National Cancer Institute, close to 5,000 people are diagnosed with this form of leukemia every year in the United States.

You may not be affected by chronic myelogenous leukemia for a long time. When you do begin to experience signs and symptoms with this disease they may include:

Malaise (general feeling of weakness or sickness)
Increased susceptibility to infections
Low-grade fever
Gout
Easy bleeding
Loss of appetite
Loss of weight without trying
Excessive sweating at night (night sweats)
Paleness
Fullness or pain on your left side below your ribs.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia and/or complications resulting from or along with it can cause you to be debilitated. You or a loved one may be disabled because of this disorder.

You or your loved one may need help. You may need financial help.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by chronic myelogenous leukemia and/or complications resulting from it? Were you or your loved one denied?

You or your loved one may decide to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, think about this.

You may need a disability attorney like the one you will find at Social Security Home to help you through this procedure. This is true because people who have a disability lawyer working for them are approved more often than those people who are not represented by an attorney.

Pancreatic Cancer and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Your body’s basic building blocks are your cells. Cancer begins in your cells. If your body is working right, old cells die at the right time, and new cells are produced when your body needs them. Things go wrong, sometimes. Old cells do not die like they should, and new cells are formed even when they are not needed.

A mass (tumor) can develop from these excess cells. These tumors can either be malignant or benign. Malignant tumors are cancer. Benign tumors are not.

Cancer is much broader than a single disease. It is a huge group of diseases. Cancer is marked by cells that are invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue), aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of the body).

There are many different types of cancer. Cancer is usually called by where it starts in your body. For example, liver cancer begins in your liver. Prostate cancer begins in your prostate. Cancer may metastasize (spread) to other areas of your body, but it is still called by where it started.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the many forms of cancer. It is cancer that begins in your pancreas.

Your pancreas is a large organ that is located horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. It secretes hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars and enzymes that help digestion.

Between 35,000 and 40,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year in the United States. It is the fourth leading cause of death among both women and men.

Pancreatic cancer develops when mutations (defects) occur in the cells of your pancreas. However, no one knows exactly why this process takes place.

One of the problems with pancreatic cancer is that it does not usually cause any signs or symptoms until it is well advanced. Signs and symptoms that you may have are:

Jaundice (yellowing of the whites of your eyes and skin
Loss of appetite
Unintentional weight loss
Depression
Upper abdominal pain that radiates to your back
Vomiting and nausea
Weakness and fatigue
Clay-colored stools and dark urine.

You or your loved one may have pancreatic cancer. This disease and/or complications resulting from it may be why you or your loved one is disabled and needs financial assistance.

You or your loved one may have applied for financial help from the Social Security Administration for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by pancreatic cancer and/or complications resulting from this disease? Were you denied?

If you or your loved one appeals the denial by the Social Security Administration, think about this carefully. People who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer representing them.

Please do not wait. Get your free consultation today with a disability advocate who can help you through the disability benefits appeals process.

Retinoblastoma and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Cancer originates in your body’s basic building blocks. These are your cells. Old cells die when they should and new cells are formed at the right time when your system is working like it ought to. When your body is not working properly, old cells do not die at the right time, and new cells are made even though you do not need them.

A mass (tumor) can begin from these excess cells. These tumors can either be malignant or benign. Malignant tumors are cancer. Benign tumors are not.

Cancer is much larger than one disorder. It is an enormous group of diseases. Cancer is characterized by cells that are invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue), aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of the body).

Retinoblastoma is one of the many different forms of cancer. It begins in the retina. This is the sensitive lining that is on the inside of your eye.

Retinoblastoma usually occurs in young children under the age of six. It is most often diagnosed in children between the ages of one and two. Retinoblastoma rarely occurs in adults.

Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer. However, in children, it is the most common cancer that affects the eye. It is estimated that somewhere around 300 children are diagnosed with retinoblastoma in the United States every year.

There are several signs and symptoms that may indicate that your child with disability or your loved one has retinoblastoma. These include:

Crossed eyes or eyes that appear to be looking in different directions
Poor vision
A white glow in your child’s eye that can be seen in photographs that are taken with a flash rather than the usual “red eye” that is seen in flash photos
The pupil may also appear distorted or white in flash photos
A painful, red eye
The iris may be a different color in each eye
White spots in the pupil
Swelling of the eye.

Your child with disability or your loved one may have retinoblastoma. This disease and/or complications resulting from it may be the cause of their disability and the reason why you need financial assistance.

Have you thought about applying for financial help from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits for your child with disability or your loved one because of the disability caused by retinoblastoma and/or complications resulting from this disease? Have you already done this and your child or your loved one was denied by the Social Security Administration?

If you decide to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, remember this important fact. People who have a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Please do not hesitate. Contact us today for a free evaluation of your case.

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is one of a group of cancers that are called lymphomas. Cancers that begin in your lymphatic system are called lymphomas.

Your lymphatic system is made up of a network of thin lymphatic vessels that branch into called tissues throughout your body like blood vessels. Lymphatic vessels carry a watery, colorless fluid called lymph. Lymph contains infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. Small organs lymph nodes are along this network of vessels. Clusters of these lymph nodes are found in your chest, neck, underarms, abdomen and groin. Lymphatic tissue is found in your skin, intestines and stomach. Your spleen, bone marrow, tonsils and thymus are also a part of your lymphatic system.

Your lymphatic system produces white blood cells. These white blood cells are called lymphocytes. They do an important job of protecting you from infectious invaders like viruses, fungi and bacteria.

Lymphoma occurs when these lymphocytes begin to multiply uncontrollably. They produce malignant cells. They have the abnormal ability to invade other tissues throughout your body.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is one of the two main types of lymphoma. The other main type is Hodgkin’s disease, also known as Hodgkin’s lymphoma. These are classified according to some special characteristics of the cancer cells in each type.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is far more common than Hodgkin’s disease. Hodgkin’s disease represents only 1% of all the cases of cancer in the United States. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, however, is the sixth most common cancer in men, and the fifth most common cancer in women.

The only effect of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the early stages may be swollen lymph nodes in your groin, armpit or neck area. Later, the disease can cause a variety of effects depending on where the affected area is in your body. These include:

Unintentional weight loss
Severe itching
Fever
Night sweats and excessive sweating
Shortness of breath or coughing if the disease is affecting your lymph nodes or thymus gland in your chest
Seizures, headaches, personality changes or concentration problems if the area affected is cells in your brain
Stomach swelling or pain that can lead to constipation, vomiting, nausea and loss of appetite.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma may be why you are disabled. This disease may be why you are in need of financial assistance.

Have you applied for financial help from the Social Security Administration for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma? Were you denied?

You may plan on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, remember this.

You may need the counsel of a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com in what can prove to be a long and arduous procedure. The reason why this is true is because people who are represented by a disability lawyer are approved more often than those people without an attorney.

Hairy Cell Leukemia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

The word “leukemia” comes from two Greek words meaning “white” and “blood”. Leukemia is a cancer of your blood or bone marrow. It is marked by an abnormal abundance of blood cells. These are usually white blood cells (lymphocytes).

Leukemia is a broad term that covers a spectrum of diseases. In turn, it is part of an even broader group of diseases called hematological neoplasms. These are types of cancer that affect your blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes. These types of cancer are closely connected through your immune system. A disease that affects one of these three will often affect the others as well.

Over 200,000 people are estimated to be living with some form of leukemia in the United States. Over 40,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

Hairy cell leukemia is one of the forms of leukemia. It affects B cells, which are a kind of white blood cells. Your bone marrow makes too many of these B cells. These excess B cells are not normal and appear to be hairy under a microscope. Less and less healthy platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells are made as the amount of hairy cell leukemia cells increase.

Fortunately, hairy cell leukemia is a rare form of leukemia. Only about 2% of all leukemias are hairy cell leukemia.

The average age at onset for hairy cell leukemia is 55. This disease affects men more than women.

Hairy cell leukemia is caused by mutations that occur in B cells. However, no one knows what causes these changes to take place.

Hairy cell leukemia may not cause any signs or symptoms. When it does cause signs and symptoms, they are not unique to this disease but are common to several conditions and diseases. Some of these are:

Unintended weight loss
Infections that reoccur
Weakness
Bruising easily
Fatigue
Not being able to eat more than a little bit at a time due to a feeling of fullness in your abdomen
Sweating excessively, especially at night
Swollen lymph glands.

You or a loved one may have been diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia. This disease and/or complications resulting from it may be the reason for your disability. Is this why you or your loved one needs financial assistance?

You or your loved one may be considering applying for the financial help that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by hairy cell leukemia and/or complications resulting from this disease. Have you done this and been denied?

If you or your loved one appeals the denial by the Social Security Administration, think about this. People who have a disability lawyer like the one you will find here are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.
