Back from another week at a West Penn Hospital with Denver. Christmas Carol Home for the Holidays never meant so much as it does nowBack from another week at a West Penn Hospital with Denver. Christmas Carol Home for the Holidays never meant so much as it does now

I would again like to thank everyone for their kind words and support through this trying time. I’d just like to explain a bit more about what’s going on. Yes... I am in Remission Luckily enough my body is responding to the salad of chemo they’ve been treating me with. We were told bluntly by my doctors that if I wasn’t responding to it that this type of cancer would have killed me by now. However while being in Remission is amazing news, it still doesn’t change anything with my treatment plan. What I have is stage 4 Burkitts Lymphoma, it is one of the most aggressive types of Lymphoma. Aggressive cancers go hand and hand with aggressive treatments. Bag after bag after spinal tap after spinal tap but I’m still here. I’m still kicking this shit and working each day to better myself and my life. I’m officially loosing my Career come Nov. 29th, I was so so happy there. Great room for promotions, great insurance with an awesome retirement plan. I have been cut off of disability pay now since September with Zero form of income all the while I’ve been fighting with government agencies for any form or amount of assistance (Still no word back ). Come Nov. 29th I’ll be loosing my health Insurance I have through my job and forced to switch to COBRA health insurance to finish out the rest of my chemo. Then moving on to the 2 year long testing I’ll have to go thru to make sure the Burkitts doesn’t come back. I’ve found out that Cobra costs 750 bucks a month right now and come the new year It’ll be 950 bucks A MONTH, on zero income while not having the physical ability to go out and work In my trade that I went to school for and trained In field for the last 6 years. I want to work, I desperately want my Old life back but realistically I know things will never be the same after all this. It’s been such a long crappy road. All started back in early May. This disease engulfs everyday, everyday is a roller coaster of the worst feelings I have ever experienced in my life, but like I can see now there is a light at the end of this cold and dark tunnel. Everything happens for a reason this is all just a MAJOR kick In the ass. All I can say is love your life, your family your friends your pets. Try to take a minute to smell the flowers. I know we are all living In shitty times but it doesn’t change the beauty of this world, or the lives we all live. We all woke up today, and that right there is a miracle all on its own. We all have our demons we fight daily just know it can get better.. Love you all keep up the fights See more
