My name is Rosalia Arenas. I am 53 years old and I am a cancer patient. I have thyroid cancer that has metastasized in my lungs. I have been battling this cancer since January of 2010 when I was diagnosed.

I have co-pays for exams and CT scans that tend to throw my budget off balance. Recently, with rental increases and an increase in my copays for my oncologist and bimonthly ct scans my disability is falling a bit short every month.
