I was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It is in the end stages of the disease. I am 32 years old and never would have thought I would get advanced stage cancer, but here I am trying to go about life while battling for my life.

I have kidney failure from this disease and am about to be put on dialysis to filter my blood 3 times a week. This type of cancer likes to attack the bones as well. I have bone lesions all down my spine and all over my rib cage. About 2/3 of my spine and ribs have 2 compression fractures of my vertebrae, so it's hard to get around. I can't drive, let alone walk around. The pain is unbearable some days; most days are manageable. The PET CT scan was pretty cool to be able to see all the cancer light up.

But like I said in the beginning, I am 32 years old and, well, times are tough for me. I have lost 65 lbs in the last 2 and a half months, and bills are piling up. I mean, some big number bills are coming in, and being under the restrictions of my multiple doctors and my body, I am unable to work. I was a small business owner and had to close down my business because I was the owner-operator, and I loved my job and helping out my community.

I am seeking help because the bills and the amounts are overwhelming and cause more stress than I need in my life at the moment. So please, whatever people are able to send to help out, it would be greatly appreciated.
