I am a California widow with the rare disease of Tracheal Stenosis. The internet thinks this is a fairly harmless condition as treatment is available. However, I have nearly died at least three times from TS. After my husband passed away last year, my plan was to get a Tracheal Reconstruction, which is the closest thing we have to a cure, and to move to WA State to be near my sister. But, after my dilation this past month, my surgeon told me I was no longer a candidate for the big surgery (when I had been before), as now my 'psychosocial situation has changed.' Which means, I have to stay where I am. This will cost money, which I do not have. I can handle another year here, and then what? My biggest fear is homelessness. If you could help at all, I would be so very grateful. Life in California is very expensive. I live in a retirement apartment, so it's nothing fancy, but it's home. Please help me to stay in my home because now I will have to have dilation after dilation, once a year, until I pass into Heaven. Thank you & may God Bless You.
