If you have a disability under the ADA he must make "reasonable accomodations" if you can with those accomodations still perform as required. If your disease makes it so that you can no longer perform your job duties, then he can discharge you dispite the disease.
There is a good amount of law about whether a disease constitutes a disability under the ADA and I think that the current thinking is that it does not.
