Husband has bone marrow cancer
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2018 3:37 pm
Hello, I found you guys on the Internet and was wondering if I can maybe get a list of possible resources. My husband has multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) & will be getting a bone marrow transplant on October 3rd. The Dr says he will be off work for 6 - 8 weeks for recovery. He is the primary wage earner ....I have a small part time job but I will be taking time off with him as I am the primary caregiver & Dr says he cannot be left alone.
We are doing our best to save for the time off but we've had to pay our regular bills & medical payments & have not had a lot leftover. We might be able to cover some of the medical bills for his bone marrow needs but I know when we get into late October we are going to owe more than we have. He is 48 years old & I have seen a lot of programs online but most are for children, young adults, or seniors. Which we don't fit into.
This is not a comfortable spot for us as we are the outreach leaders at our little church so we are normally on the giving end not receiving. Our little church cannot help with his health care due to us just losing our Pastor to cancer & the struggling with the church bills. At this point I'm just trying to plan ahead by getting resources lined up so when the time comes it'll maybe be less frantic & scary. Any resources for free or low cost tratment for marrow will be appreciated. Thank you all so much! God bless you??
