Kelly fights cancer

My whole world changed the day I got a phone call that said, "I'm sorry, you have cancer." I was so proud of where I had come as a divorced stay at home mom, to a full fledged teacher, renting a house on my own, paying my own way, and finally having some health insurance. Yet those 5 words imploded my very existence and I am left scared and thinking, what am I going to do now? I'm new to my job and do not qualify for FMLA, the differential pay between what I make and what I need to pay my substitute teacher is about $25 a day. I'm a mother of 3 and on my own. Bills don't care I am sick and can't work, rent is still due, medicine and co-pays still exist, but my income is all but gone. I have 3 months of chemotherapy to get through and 6 weeks of daily radiation after that. I feel so scared to lose everything I have worked so hard to build for me and my children. Cancer is taking away the parts of me that make me feel like a woman. The treatments are taking away my hair, my health, my energy, my ability to work, and my quality of life with my children. This I will fight back from. Cancer will not win! I've worked too hard and I have so much left to give to this world. But money isn't something I can will from my soul and fight through the ashes. I realize I have to humble myself and ask for help.
