Hello to everyone my name is Billie and I am a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 8.
I went to the hospital last year and my body had stopped making its own blood and I was having to have daily transfusions, my insurance dropped me somewhere in The mix and the doctors couldn’t diagnose what was wrong with me. I ended up in organ failure and I was unaware, but a wonderful doctor at Texas Oncology final diagnosed me with Hodgkin’s lymphoma that had metastasized, I immediately started chemotherapy and immuno therapy, my doctor has concluded since I have never smoked or used drugs or alcohol that this cancer must be environmental, so he has asked me to move out of the place that I have been living for the last 5+ years, he says the h2s has in our area is not good for me and may be the cause.
I have asked for food stamp, no help.
I have asked for Medicaid no help.
I have asked for temporary disability no help.
I owe the hospital 40,000
I owe Texas oncology over 8700, and I am still seeing the Doctors weekly currently, and that will continue to go up.
I also have bills from a surgeon anesthesiologist and radiology and bunches of them from ct and pet scans.
I am able to get insurance and do have it now,but these bills are above the deductible, and the monthly payments are about 300.00 per month, for the insurance.
Due to this cancer I have lost most of my teeth, I need dental work they have offered to do implants but they are in the 30,000 range as I will need upper and lower. I am hoping to get something going I only have 7 teeth on the bottom, and just one on the right side, I have just now gotten the go ahead to be able to go to the dentist, because before I was in such bad shape it wasn’t a priority.
I n the midst of all this the IRS has sent us a bill for 33,000.00
We also inherited some property and were trying to sell it only to find out that it had two tax liens on it from my father in law for about 60,000.00 and child support lien from my father in law for 265,000.00, so no help there. The attorney that has the child support liens on the properties is trying to take it away from us for the debts that we do not owe.
I am currently unemployed and have been for over a year, these first few months mainly have been about keeping me alive, I can walk pretty good now and I am able to feel my feet more and more each day but sometimes the neuropathy , sometimes is very painful. It is a far cry from this time last year when I had to carried from the car to the house.
I am thankful
to be alive and I would like to able not be a burden on my children and 6 granddaughters and two grandsons.
I need about 500,000 all together by the time this is all over, however any little bit helps
