Hello Everyone, my wife Corrine and I have been together for 31 years.
We have three daughters 18,20 and 22.

She chose to stay home and take care of the home and family and did an amazing job of it. This sounds very traditional however we a very progressive and alternative at the same time.
Two years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent all the conventional treatments chemo/ surgery and radiation.
We thought the worst was over until she began having pain in her back in shoulders in the summer of 2019. At first, she was referred to a physical therapist for treatment but by October 2019 things got more serious. She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer with metastasis in her vertebrae, hips, and spine. She currently can not walk and is confined to a bed in our living room. She has a catheter and needs us to give her regular exercise to prevent muscle atrophy. 
A goddess of women who at the age of 47 had an eight pack, ate right and always got regular exercise is now bedridden.
She has been allowed to come home but still needs to make regular visits to the hospital for more treatments and tests.
My daughters have decided to stop attending college and go to working part-time so they can be home with me to help with her care but even with all of us, it is still extremely hard to give 24/7. 
Despite the fact, we pay $800 a month for health insurance and we have exceeded the out of pocket maximum for the plan the amount of out of pocket costs are staggering. Just stretcher transport to the hospital is shocking in its cost.
Cory ( Corrine Marrazzo) is an amazing woman. A selfless loving and caring soul who always put everyone else first. As I type this she wants to make sure the visiting nurse is warm enough in our home. She is the kind of person who would rather help the homeless and the needy then go to a 5-star resort. Every time we were walking in the city and someone in need approached us she would immediately give without question. I would always say ” why can’t you just walk past them ?”, Her response “ how can you just walk past them”?
