Need help with medical bills

Hi my name is Derek and I am 40 years old. I found out 2 months ago that I have papillary thyroid cancer. It  has spread to my lymph nodes and possibly my lungs. I need to take off at least 2 to 3 weeks of work which I cannot afford to do so. I used all my vacation time on biopsies and other Dr appointments. This is real hard for me to ask for help since I have always helped others financially or physically. Now I am asking for help. The bills are piling up and I need surgery to take out the cancer any help is appreciated.
