► 20:09 – My Disability Questions – My mother underwent chemo for a rare form of skin cancer. The insurance company says that her two years are coming up and that it’s time for her to try to go back to work. She can’t. She’s still very sick and her job as an executive is quite demanding.

I feel very lost right now.
► 27:22 – My Disability Questions – Do you have to follow the treatment plans of the insurance company’s doctors? What if your doctor says that these treatments are NOT appropriate?
