Adenocarcinoma and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits
Cancer is not one disease, but a group of diseases. Each of these diseases is marked by cells that are aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits), invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of your body).
There are many different types of cancer. Most of these varieties of cancer are named for where they start in your body. For example, stomach cancer begins in your stomach.
Cancer is also classified according to the type of cell that resembles the tumor. Some examples of this are sarcoma, blastic tumor, germ cell tumor and lymphoma.
Carcinoma is one of the categories of cancer. Carcinoma is a kind of cancer that starts in the epithelial cells of your body. These are the cells that line the surface of your organs and skin. Epithelial cells also line your airways and digestive tract.
There are several different kinds of carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma is one of the types of carcinoma.
Adenocarcinoma is usually associated with lung cancer. However, adenocarcinoma may also begin in the cells that line other kinds of glandular organs like your pancreas, cervix, breasts, prostate, stomach and colon.
Adenocarcinoma is caused by defects (mutations) that develop in the cells that line your glandular organs. The defects cause these cells to grow and multiply in an uncontrollable way. No one knows exactly what causes these defects to occur. However, there are several things that may play a role in causing these mutations to take place. Some of these are:
Chemicals
Viruses
Radiation
Hormones
Inflammation
Unidentified carcinogenic agents.
There are several different signs and symptoms that you may have depending on which organ is affected by your adenocarcinoma. Some of these include:
Discomfort
A lump
Pain
Blood in your stool
Unexplained, unintentional weight loss
Fatigue or weakness
Poor appetite
Vomiting and nausea
Headaches or seizures
Changes in your vision
Problems with walking or speaking
Shortness of breath
Persistent cough
Lightheadedness.
You or a loved one may have some kind of adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma and/or complications that have resulted from this disease may be the reason for your disability and what is preventing you from working.
Because of this, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.
You or your loved one may be intending to apply for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by adenocarcinoma and/or complications that have resulted from this disease. You or your loved one may have already done this, and your application was rejected by the Social Security Administration.
If you or your loved one is planning on reapplying or appealing the denial, think about this important fact.
