I’m writing to thank you guys again for all your support and assistance. DJ had the best x-mas ever and I was able to use the donations, gas cards to get around and take care of some important things. I’m feeling great and doing well emotionally/ physically and can’t wait until doctors release me to return to work. DJ will be turning 4 this Sunday and I still have some of the gifts from you guys saved to give him on his birthday. Today I met with the cancer oncologist and well the verdict is in… I do need chemo and will be starting cycles hopefully by the end of the month. I was also writing to ask for your assistance again with gas cards for my appointments, and if possible some help with funds. I asked my case manager of any resources or agencies that can help w/ car note or insurance but was unsuccessful in finding any. I’m behind my car payment due to not working and having no income since I went on medical leave Nov. I hope to return to work after port is put in for chemo and receiving first dose of chemo.
