I started becoming ill about 6 years ago. I was finally diagnosed with hyperthyroid, colon caner, a thymic mass, HBP and other health issues. I had colon surgery in Dec. 2005 and then was told I needed a total hysterctomy in March 2006. I did not get better. I was given radiation iodine for my thyroid and in 2 months was in severe hypothyroid, I am now on medication for life and have had the dosage increased over tha past 2 months since it has not been working. My blood pressure is high, 180 over 105 with a pulse rate of 109. I have no insurance and cannot afford the doctor. I am constantly sick, cannot afford the tests I need. I have been told I may have congestive heart failure and the cancer cells are reforming. I live with this every day and still take care of my children and home. My son works to help with bills as I do not qualify for any assistance from the state or disability. We have fought to keep our home through this. I have never asked for hand outs but we make due and the kids are great.
