I think everytime I turn around I hear or meet someone who just found out they got cancer. In the past year, my cousin, three neighbors, and. a few friends. Got their bad news. It seems like it's spreading like the flu. I'm so tired of hearing more bad news. And no one either has insurance or it don't cover it. I know we have so much medicals bills to pay. Sometimes I wounded where all the money that is raise for cancer goes. Because a lot of us never get any help... (just saying. (Sorry had to vent) Going to a benift for a friend who has cancer tomorrow.

    Sorry for your Family
    Sorry you too are facing the medical cost as well as the emotional and physical costs of cancer. My heart just breaks for those who do not have insurance because the cancer itself is so hard for families. We met today with our local Cancer Support Group and we plan to have a raffle of a Doll House made by one of our members. We meet tomorrow to determine who could benefit from the proceeds. We are thinking of those who have children who are in treatment but do not have the resources to make their quality of life better.
    Prayers for your family.

    Sorry
    Sorry to hear about all the family and friends being diagnosed. Cancer really is just about the most inconvenient experience I've eve had. I had to suspend getting my MA in History because of cancer, but I'm hoping that I can finish that up in December. As for the finance, I've decided that I'm not going to pay my medical bills anymore. Then they can just send a collection agency to my house and repossess my cancer.
