Hey there, I was diagnosed this year with throat cancer earlier this year. I am 44 years old and thought I was in good health. It came out of nowhere and was not prepared for something like this. But honestly who is? I haven’t been able to work since November of last year. I am on leave of absence with no money coming in. I have been running though money like water with the tests the hospital bills and not working for so long and not knowing when and if this will end anytime soon, while keeping up with the mortgage. I had to have 3 biopsies before they were able to find the cancer in my tongue and throat. It paralyzed my tongue on the right side and closed my jaw and was making it physically hard to breathe, eat, and talk. I can’t really talk or eat and am going through Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments every week. This has been the most difficult thing that’s ever happened to me in my life and I’m going to fight for it! I’m way too young and too full of life to be done yet! I am hoping and praying that the treatments work and I can make it through everything and be able to get back to my life! I really would appreciate any support and help that you can. This is so unexpected and difficult to navigate through. I’m just praying I can be strong enough to make it through. Thank you for your support and taking the time to understand my current situation. I want to make it through this, and the doctors say that it is a good chance that I will make it through this it’s just a very scary, unsure and nervous situation to have to face.
