my cancer treatment fund

Donation protected
i never thought i would be doing something like this for my self,  i was always pretty much self sufficient and help others with my talents and gifts. right now i am not self sufficient, my story started late last year, i met this amazing lady , while i was was with her i developed a cough i thought it may have been allergies,taking a allergy pill helped, i did not have health insurance at the time, one evening we were  out walking and i coughed and felt a "pop" on my right side with some pain, she asked me to get it checked out, i  said i would as soon as the insurance "kicked"in from work, i had a promising career ahead, as soon as i got insured in september, i went to get my cough checked out, she broke off with me after a few days later. What makes this even more difficult is our first date was Christmas eve of 2015. Then the doctors told me i had pneumonia, so i went along with it. come to find out i wasn't really getting better i got scheduled for a bronchoscopy, which they found lung cancer,  i called  to tell her and she says we will be friends but i cant be there for you for the type of support you need.
right now i am grateful my family is supportive and taking me to treatments, especially may aunt, uncle and mom. 
right now i have no income and my health insurance may get dropped from work, i have deductibles that i have no money to pay for. losing her was the nail in the coffin for me. but i am willing to fight on. too much too fast too soon all at once.
all i am asking is for some support financially or just a note to hang in there, 
currently i am in stage 4 with  a small lesion in the brain which the doctors are going to treat with a laser targeted radiation, then God only knows what treatment will follow, i have lost over 30 lbs since the diagnosis,  i am down to 170lbs and may have dropped more, i will know more on wednesday when i get my first treatment, right now i have no one else to turn to, these funds will continue to pay the health insurance, medications, transportation costs and living expenses.
my need is dire if i lose the health insurance the medical team gives me a year to live, 
my dream in life was to have a "home" life of my own, if you could understand. now i may not have that dream come true. help me achieve that dream so i can return the favor and the gifts,
having all these things happen so quickly has turned me into a different man inside and out, 
i don't know what else to say other than thank you, i am getting teary eyed while i am asking for this to come true. 
please understand that i am not a creative writer, what i have stated here comes from the heart with sincerity,love and respect for all.
since i never had a facebook account you can reach me via email [email redacted] and i will respons as soon as possible
thank you to all
