What if the ALJ fails to consider my need for medical care and treatment that will occur on a regular basis, or the absences I will probably have for this medical care or just being too sick to work a few days or more per month due to my sickness?

The ALJ must consider these things in his or her decision.  You may want to assert that “The ALJ failed to consider the Claimant’s need to accommodate his/her physical and/or mentally related symptoms, need for medical treatment and absences related to symptoms and/or medical treatment.”
