Judy: Good heavens -- that must have been awful for you -- no insurance, but it was great of the hospital to give you a grant. I was lucky because I was on a clinical test, plus having insurance from my job. You're right -- just when you think everything is totally rotten, you see someone else who is worse off than you! I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling sorry for yourself, either. That's part of this journey, too. But just think!! Only one more chemo! The day I had my last chemo (May 7th) was a red letter day, let me tell you! From that day on, I felt better each day. You will, too, I guarantee it. Go take your nap now, hon. You'll feel better in a couple of days. I know how hard it is, though. Love, Kathy

Dear Kathy,
Thanks for the sugestion, but have to have everything done in hospital. I
have no insurance, so hospital gave me a grant. If i get it at home i have to
pay. This has helped use from loosing everything. I only have to pay for my
doctors checkups. That runs about $100 every 15 days. Also have to pay Dr.
for radiation treatments. 33 of them. of medician and Dr bills are all we
have to pay for right now. And can't get insurance until I'm cancer free for
one yr. My husband is in construction and things got bad for about 10 yrs.
Now that we were getting back on our feet, as to speak, and had extra money,
this thing happened. Oh, well, God works in mysterious ways. But am doing
fine. This new chemo is killing me. I feel like a mack truck or the worst
hang over i ever had. Just got back from getting my first shot for next 7
days. Wasn''t bad,
but nurse want to put them in my rear, because my arm is getting enough done
to it. thats ok with me. well, kido, didn't get to sleep last night until
3;30 and up at 6:30 so maybe i'll try for a nap now. Thanks again for
careing, but then you alway have. Love you kido,
Love and Hugs,
Judy
