<prompt> Human: So, some back story: The company I worked for 11 years at closed down on December 31, 2017. I sold my house in November for 100 over what I paid for it 6 years ago, so I was feeling pretty good. Was getting ready to move up to NC when I got news that I had a rhabdomyosarcoma tumor in my arm and would need surgery, radiation, and several months of chemo, which Im currently in the middle of. I havent moved as I live close to one of only five cancer centers that specializes in sarcomas and Im staying with my father while everything I own is in storage. It was recommended by my doctors that I go on disability since I cant really work right now, but I have recently been denied. After paying off some debts and now paying insurance out of pocket, I went from over 150k in the bank to a little over 90k. I have a few months left of chemo and dont show any signs if the cancer anymore, so trying to figure out whats next. Some of that money will end up going towards buying a place if I do move to NC Oregon is on the table, too. So any advice would be great. Thanks!  <response>: 1. Get an attorney to help you appeal the disability denial assuming this is Social Security disability. Its common for people to be denied on first application and approved on appeal. If you are approved, I believe your benefits will be retroactive to the date you first filed.2. You may be better off renting in a new location, rather than buying a house. At least initially, this gives you more flexibility to move in search of employment. It can also save you money, which is important because you really need to start saving for your retirement at age 40.3. Related to 2, start brainstorming jobs youre qualified for, and get ready to search for a job. Keep lists of openings, work on your resume, etc. Online coursestutorials are also a productive use of your time.Best wishes for your full recovery.
