Is it possible for my dad’s employer to terminate him during his colon cancer treatment still in process?

Question by clueless: Is it possible for my dad’s employer to terminate him during his colon cancer treatment still in process?
my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer around 9/2009 and was told to go on leave ASAP for treatments such as IV chemo and radiation. After the treatments he had an operation to remove the cancer around 02/2010 and the surgeon had attached a temporary colostomy. A few weeks after he was back to chemo pills for weeks. he has been very weak throughout his treatments and can barely walk. Around 09/2010, he had his 2nd operation to remove the colostomy. He had an open wound. I change his dressing twice a day. I’m still changing his dressing til now. He has been updating work with everything paperworks he comes up with from his surgeon or when HR needed information. Last week, he receives a letter from work stating that he had already exhausted all of his options and that they can no longer accomodate him. My dad had told me that from what the letter says, they want him back to work in 2weeks or they’re going to have to terminate him at the date of the letter. He had called HR, he was told that someone from HR will give him a call today but never did. Is that possible? Is that fair?
He’s on disability at this time and was asked to recertify so it’s pending. He’s also in process of apply for LTD as well as Social Security. Everything is pending at this time. I’m not quite sure yet if my dad still has PTO with the company, would it matter?

The Effects of a Paleolithic Omnivore Meat based Diet.


Image by Paleo-Caveman-Omnivore-LowCarb-Meat-Diet-Info
The Effect of a Paleolithic Omnivore Meat Eater Diet on a Human Child.

Eating a Lowcarb High Meat Non Vegan high saturated fat diet can alter the building of muscles in your son or daughters body. Or yours if you eat an Atkins style diet.

Meat is now confirmed to contain ESTROGEN. Specifically 17-beta-estradiol. This female hormone is injected into beef, meat, and steak, by livestock farmers. And then you eat it.

Each time a male eats a bite of a ‘big juicy steak’ he is making himself more feminine and obese and depositing layers of fat around the abs and belly. A steak eater grows more womanly with wide feminine hips, a sloped over posture, soft womanly shoulders, and a pooch stomach filled with yellow and brown fat.

Paleolithic Camevman diets without fiber can cause diverticulitis, where the human feces push itself into tiny pockets called "polyps" sticking out of the intestinal wall wherein the pieces of "poo" from putrified decaying meat begin to rot and then become infected with bacteria in the meat, beef, or steak, eaters colon. This can then rupture and unleash infectious fecal bacteria into the human abdomen. This is a disease obtained from eating meat on a Paleo solution proteinpower type meat based diet.

Vegetarians and Vegans do not have this problem. Plant based diets are rich in protein and nutrients and fiber which are medically shown to be more healthy. The oldest (verified documented) man to ever live followed a vegetarian plant-based diet, Christian Mortensen, a centenarian who lived to a confirmed 115 years of age and is in the Guiness Book of World Records. The largest bodybuilder in the world is a vegetarian.

There has Never been an Atkins Low Carbohydrate diet 100+ year old Centenarian. Robert Atkins who created the Atkins Lowcarb diet is dead, and his body showed evidence of heart disease from following his own high-meat low-carb high-saturated-fat diet. Ironically Atkins died fat, after falling and hitting his head after a possible stroke, and his obese body weighed in a at a whopping 258 pounds. Red meat is linked to Cancer. There has never been a redmeat Paleolithic Diet centenarian.
