This is about my husband of 31 years. A little over 2 years ago he was diagnosed with a GBM tumor. Again this past october. Had to have two operations, chemotherapy , radiation the first time. He is now taking chemotherapy. This has left him disabled. He is a strong willed man who takes one day at a time. What is hard on him other than cancer is not being able to work. He has always worked and took care of his family. Our income has gone way down now that he draws a SSD check once a month. Paying bills have been difficult. It seems we keep falling behind. Can not find any help out there for people like him. They say he still makes to much money, to qualify.
This is very discouraging. We keep telling ourselfs things could be worse, but when you have doctor bills being turned in against you and others wanting their money that you don,t have, it drains you.
Thank god my husband is still here as people with these tumors don,t usually have a very long life span. I only hope one day there will be a cure. We were fortunate to have very good doctors taking care of my husband and I believe this has made a difference in his life.
Good luck to anyone out there going through any kind of sickness or illness.
