help with Vance's illness bills

Donation protected
in november of 2016, Vance came home from work not feeling well. i took him into the er to be checked out. they said it was pneumonia. we followed up with the doctor. he was getting worse so we went back in to the er. they did more tests. they sent him to a specialist. the pulmonologist suspected lung cancer. they did a scope and biopsy and it was confirmed stage 4 lung cancer with fluid badly infected around his lungs. he was admitted again to have fluid drained. they couldn't get all, so he was transported to another hospital. they did draining there to finally have him go into surgery to drain and scrape the lung area. he was there for over 3 week. he was then put with the cancer center here and they really weren't doing much. only wanted to do chemo. they were taking time to finally get him in there. we didn't want to wait. cancer doesn't wait either. so i called the cancer treatment center of america in chicago. he was accepted in there. they are doing chemo once a week and radiation 5 days a week until march 27th.  so he is staying there in a hotel while i travel back and forth. we are currently trying to get him on disability, but he doesn't have enough "credits" to collect and he's not old enough to go for retirement. we need to get a lawyer to fight that too. so he's not working and the bills (house and hospital) keep rolling in, i'm trying not to take any time off work but i also want to be there with him.  we hate to ask for help but this is taking a toll on us financially . i have faith that the center will help him beat this cancer. this is something that we had hoped we would never have to do. if you can help us by donating- we will be forever greatful. we thank you!
