Im 32yr female from a small town in Southern Indiana (born and raised). I moved to my hometown to help take care of my maternal grandparents (fall 2017) sadly April 2018 my grandfather lost his battle with cancer and had an aortic aneurysm he passed 12hrs later. I then moved in with my grandmother at that time and cared for her while working 12hr shifts at a local factory. Sadly she too lost her battle to cancer only months later (Jan 2019). I was devastated once again but had been feeling ill for Awhile. March 2019 I had an incident where I passed at work. Was told my WBC was high went to my OBGYN thinking I was finally pregnant (I had lost my only child due to miscarriage years ago)! but nope.... I had to have a hysterectomy June 4th 2019. Just 4 days later I was diagnosed with cancer !! I had to take FMLA and Short Term Disability. but due to complications of surgery and radiation I have now developed Lymphedema and some bowel issues. I am unable to return to work and worry everyday where my bill money is going to come from. I have everyday needs as well as medical bills piling up and now I finally got my in home medical equipment for my Lymphedema which is almost $3000 after insursnce!!! I am also diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Everyday is a battle and I want to win this battle!!! I just need some help thank you bless you all I have had 25 rounds of external radiation , 2 about to be 3 rounds of internal radiation as well as another minor procedures and more to come
