Up to 5 years unable to work?

To all kind people,

My best friend that I known since high school has just informed me that he was diagnosed with leukemia.

I am naturally shocked and I immediately promised to be there for him financially and emotionally. However he has 3 small children and was very worried that he won't be able to work for a very long time,telling me that he talked to a friend, who has a friend, who was unable to work for full 5 years.

[b]Are there really cancers that can make you unable to work for up to 5 years[/b] , especially leukemia. (Although his friend wasn't 100% sure it was leukemia that the guy had)

I am asking this because I am thinking of starting a collection drive at our work place, and I would like to have as many facts as possible.

Thanks,
Edin
