I’m a 46 year old GS-14 Federal employee who was just diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. As much as that sucks, I very likely have lots of life left as I’m healthy and there are good treatment options. I likely don’t have 30 more years of life though and I figure I could possibly doing medical retirement, keep my benefits and collect my pension. I’d likely still work, just a less stressful job.
I have $780k in my TSP.

Does that make sense to medically retire?

Is anyone here living with Stage IV MBC? I’m still awaiting biopsy results for this damned tumor in my liver, but I’m desperately seeking some hope from my fellow runners.
