Support Michelle's Battle: Cancer and Hardship
Donation protected
Michelle is having medical issues and due to a snafu by the Social Security Administration and Medicare/Medicaid, the part B of her Medicare was canceled. The offices are giving her the runaround. They stopped her maintenance chemo in July because of no insurance. In September, she found a lump on her neck. She lost the use of her left hand/arm due to where the mass is located, and it just kept getting worse. In mid-November, CT scans revealed the cancer was back. She can't drive and is unable to work since after Thanksgiving.
The Sunday before Christmas, she went to dinner with Dan and slipped on one of their steps and fell and broke several ribs on the left side. She is unable to pay December's rent and doesn't know what will happen the rest of the year. She is relying on pain medication and ibuprofen so she can at least work half days and try to start chemo again. She says the chemo almost killed her last time, but I know Michelle and she's a strong woman! She thanks all of her amazing friends for all the prayers & well wishes.
