Cancer

Cancer happens when abnormal cells grow out of control and spread, making it hard for the body to function normally. Treatments can be long and difficult, and many people are unable to work while managing symptoms and care. Even after remission, side effects can stay disabling.

Understanding Cancer & Treatment Impact

Cancer happens when certain cells in the body start growing in an uncontrolled way, forming tumors or spreading to other areas. This can damage organs, weaken the immune system, and create symptoms like pain, fatigue, weight loss, or trouble doing everyday tasks. Treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy can be physically demanding and may cause strong side effects. Because both the illness and the treatment can limit stamina, focus, and overall functioning, many people with cancer are unable to work while they recover or manage their condition.

I just wanted to say that my team from London Disability is the best. They have been fighting for my case since 2020 and not once did they give up on me when I was denied twice. My case manager called me with the best news ever that we had won our case. I was so happy and she really made my day.
-K.M.
I had a great experience with London Disability. I was two years without any income. They listened to my case, understood my issues, and handled it from there. I couldn’t do it without you. It’s very much appreciated. Great job.
