I was recently diagnosed with lung, colon and liver cancer! It was devastating to learn this news especially since I had just lost my job a few months earlier. I have worked helping others for the last 28 years and it was hard for me to ask for help for myself but I didn't have much of a choice.
Each time I visit my doctors the co-payments were anywhere from $70-$250 and not to mention the $511 monthly payments for health insurance which was over 1/4 of my unemployment. I'm looking at 2-3 surgeries over the next months and even after the surgeries I will need Chemotherapy and not sure when I will be able to work again!
