Would you say the same if that were the case? People like you are despicable.

I am not the OP but I have an AI disease as well and they have worked with me. sm
I did not tell them that I have severe fibromyalgia when I started. I had been doing well and thought I could work FT. Well, three weeks into employment, with everything going well, I had a bad flare up. I handed in my resignation stating what was wrong and that I could not handle working FT at that time.
My lead and then the owner contacted me, telling me that they can either accept my resignation, put me on FMLA or let me do what I can while I am having a flare-up, both within 5 minutes of my sending the email, neither knowing the other person contacted me.
That was 2 years ago. I have had 3 since then and, knock on wood, have been feeling great. I would have probably left KS and been depressed thinking I could not hold a job because of something I could not help. Instead, I found caring people who worked with me and let me do what I needed. I work FT, know that I have to split my shift and help out extra when needed if I can. They work with me without hovering. Mentally, this has been a blessing for me!
Acuspheris sounds like a dreaded disease.

What happened regarding cancer? nm

that would make it the disease of B. Crohn, therefore, the apostrophe stays. (sm)
That's how I was taught. If you can replace the apostrophe with the word OF then the apostrophe is correct. Regular grammar states the apostrophe would stay. BOS says otherwise. Personally, I like proper grammar.
Yes, I decided on becoming a cancer registrar!

The rumor I heard was that a person with cancer
worked at MQ and got fired for not meeting line counts due to chemo. Do you think the company would verify?
Risking cancer spread waiting on ins
I was saddened to read that you are risking the potential spread of cancer by waiting for your insurance to cover testing and treatment.
First, I think the 12-month waiting period would make it Dec 2009 rather than 2010, but, still, waiting til Dec 2009...geez...I hope you reconsider what the consequences are.
You might check into other options for paying for testing/treatment, including extended payment plans, public or private financial assistance, loans, whatever it takes. This is your health and your life that you are risking by delaying. Is that worth the price?
I'm thinking about all the people who have lost their lives because an otherwise treatable cancer was not caught early enough.
I'm sorry for your situation and hope I haven't sounded preachy. Just hope you will reconsider your options. Best wishes.

Ham sandwich and lung cancer vs 100K. Tough choice.

I have been to SA and the UAE and, let me tell you, there's a lot more respect for the MTs there than in the good 'ol USA.
Westerners are not held to the same standards as locals when it comes to dress and custom. You don't have to wear a full-on face shroud or eat dog or whatever. Just show some basic common sense decency. You'll be assigned an escort if, for some reason, you need to go somewhere at night or want to go to a certain part of town out of the American neighborhood. (Great little market, for example.)
It's like this:
In Hawaii, I hardly ever wear anything but cut-off shorts and a bikini top. And I don't stand out because most of the people I'm hanging out with wear the same sort of thing. But if I was to go to Manhattan and apply at a Fortune 500 company as a receptionist, do you think I'd wear my cut-offs? No. Everyone would say, 'cover up.' And rightly so. I really wouldn't have a problem with understanding, or adhering to, the dress code.
So maybe wearing jeans and a tee in SA would be akin to wearing cut-offs and a bikini top to Wall Street. It's just not respectful or acceptable. But who can't deal with that?
For anyone who enjoys learning about other cultures, and who can muster up the standard level of respect we show to other cultures even in America, I would heartly suggest being open minded to this type of offer. Heck, I'd go if I were 10 years younger. (If just for the opportunity to hang out and party in Dubai.)
Crohn diease - The disease that was name after Burrill Crohn. sm
His name was not Crohn's. It was Crohn.
It is also Graves disease, named after Robert J. Graves.
