I have a rare type of blood and bone marrow cancer. It is terminal. Usually people do well on the chemo which I take daily for the rest of my life. My body has not responded and I have had several chemo failures. Bone marrow transplant isn’t ideal for me plus this type of cancer will always come back after 3-5 years even if the procedure took. I’ve been struggling with my organs, not keeping up. My liver and kidneys are always struggling and now I have developed a a few aneurysms. With a hole in my heart and I recently had a stroke so they’re gonna perform the surgeries I had to surrender all my properties I like my car, my home, etc. to pay for my chemo which is $44,000 a month which leaves me to live off of $1900 a month. I cannot receive assistance from the government because I make $50 too much. I have to pay people to drive me to my appointments which is several times a week. I don’t even make enough to eat. I can’t get snap benefits because $1900 a month in New York is still above the poverty level and New York is expensive to begin with. I have trouble keeping up with my chores because I physically can’t do anything anymore. I don’t have a really good support system and come winner. I’m usually sick nonstop because this cancer is the cancer of the white blood cells which makes it impossible for me to fight off infection. On top of that I fight with anxiety, fibromyalgia, other pain syndromes and other illnesses on top of that. This is something I’ve never done before. I don’t know where to turn. I don’t know what to do. All I know is my quality of life is awful and I don’t have the money to support that even if I had a little bit extra to pay somebody to come and take care of me and clean my rental unit so I can live in a clean environment. I had to move into an older home that has a lot of stuff already in it. My main list can go on and on. I’m not getting any extra help from the hospitals. I don’t qualify for an aid to come in and help. I have two young adults, both with their own health issues as well, One is a Marine who has hurt and medically discharged, the other ones suffers from depression and all the things that come with that as you can imagine. I’m divorced people are tired of taking care of me so I am very lonely and it’s just the way it will be until the end of my days(3 years). Someone suggested doing this so why not give it a shot I appreciate any and all help.
