John's medical treatments

Hi everyone and thank you for looking at my page. Where to start..... this has been a long fought battle going back almost 6 years from my first symptoms and treatments for cancer. I was originally misdiagnosed and treated for the wrong form of cancer, but as luck had it the incorrect treatment regiment did slow down the more serious version I had multiple myeloma.  The chemo, radiation and immunotherapy had taken a hard toll on my body to say the least and in Feb 2016 I nearly lost my life to pancreatic and gal bladder failure. I was admitted to the ICU and given a very slim chance to live, just 14%. I battled as hard as I could and 42 later i was out of the ICU, but still in bad shape and had to undergo several more surgeries over the next 18 months to get to where I am now. With that hard battle behind me, even though I am dealing with the fallout of it all, having almost all my pancreas removed, gal bladder spleen, sections of intestine, I am now diabetic and cant digest food on my own any more. I need help from a drug of creon 48000, and insulin, not to mention all the antinflammitory, pain killers, sleep meds. But the creon and insulin keep me alive. I moved back to Wisconsin and went on badger are, because I truly needed it, and I took a low paying job I could handle and between that and badger care I could heal and get back on my feet so to speak. It was all I could do to afford the expensive meds that keep me alive even with badger care the meds took up my paycheck and then some. Well the other week the worst happened, badger care cancelled my coverage, saying I make too much money. I make minimum wage, and it all goes to medications and treatments. Plus now i have been diagnosed with a couple more serious autoimmune diseases,  lupus being the most serious and am told by my doc I need to go on a chemo regiment as the best course of treatment. I am working as much as I can just to stay alive. I have an amazing family that has helped so much I can never thank them enough. They are why I am still here. But now I have to do something I hate doing and ask everyone for help, even if you just share this and ask others to share that I have never met, I need this desperately to he shared and if you can donate to a good cause. I just want to get well enough to get back to my life I've been away from for so long and try to payback all this debt I have incurred due to illness. I need help from everyone possible. I love you all and thank you so much for taking the time to read and share this. Please let me know if you have questions about my battles either on my medical conditions, surgeries etc I'll be happy to answer them. There is truly way too much to write about. I have a ln amazing story, but it won't end here :)
