In April is was diagnosed with metastatic adenacarcinoma. Non small cell lung cancer

This is my second battle with cancer, having beaten Hodgkin disease more than 30 years ago

The cancer has spread to my spine, causing several compression fractures, a few lymph nodes and my brain.

It also has led to fluid surrounding my lungs. To date, I’ve had five thoracentisis procedures that have withdrawn more than 12 liters of fluid

I recently had a 22-day stay in the hospital.

Back pain is constant and I am limited physically after losing almost 40 pounds in six weeks

My concern is the expense of hospitalization as well as the many medications I am using now
