My Cancer Came Back

A little over three years ago, I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. After having a tumor removed, going through various treatments and testing, I went into remission. 

Things have been going good during that time, but unfortunately, I started having some noticeable issues a short time back. Fearing the worst, I had some testing done and found that another tumor has started to grow. At this time I know that I have to have it removed and am still waiting on some more testing to see if there is any spreading and what manner of treatments might be needed going forward. I also lost my health coverage at the beginning of this year and couldn't afford what was offered due to my previous diagnosis. I've applied for Medicaid and was denied. Although I have a part time job, finding full time work has proved challenging this past year and bills are already starting to pile up. While I may be able to get some financial assistance from the hospitals, I'll still have a crushing amount of debt to pay back with these coming procedures and subsequent monitoring. I'm going to have to miss some work and playing music, which are my two main sources of income at this point, so taking care of normal living expenses and financial obligations will also be challenging. 

So, even though I've been reluctant to do this, I'm asking for your help.  Anything would mean a lot and would really help ease the financial burden. I just really want to get well again as soon as possible. I want to have more time with all of you. I want continue to be able to perform and  create. Thanks for reading this and thanks for everything that you all have already done for me.

All my love
