As many of you know, I’ve been battling this evil disease called cancer since September of last year. The doctors try to prepare you for the experience. They talk about the pain, the fear, the chemo, the sickness but nothing they tell you is really enough. The constant worrying about what will happen next is debilitating. You never know when something else will happen. I just had a great weekend with my extended family and this morning I find out that an mri was read incorrectly and I actually have new spots in my brain and have to have gamma knife radiation. I’ve been through this before so I know what to expect. They will screw a contraption into my skull, mount my head to a table and zap my brain with gamma knife radiation. After a few days my eyes will swell shut and turn black. It’s not fun but it’s not the worst procedure I’ve been through. In all the preparation they give you in the beginning the one thing they don’t talk about is the expense. Everything I’ve been through surgery, chemo, radiation, gamma knife, hospital stays and medications, they all are so expensive. They tell you to avoid stress to promote better health. Well  I’ve been out of work since October. Every time I think I’ll get to go back something else happens. In the meantime we have used up every extra resource we had. Steve is working every day of overtime he can get, Morgan is helping with groceries and even Brooke is helping out by putting gas in the car. I feel so guilty even though I know I didn’t choose for things to be this way. I debated for awhile about setting this up. I was embarrassed to ask for help. I came to the conclusion that my pride wasn’t worth my family struggling. Please if you can help I would greatly appreciate it. If you can’t then please pray for us and share this post. It may reach someone who is able to help. Thank you to everyone who has already helped us and for all the prayers that have been said on our behalf.
