I swore I wouldn't do it but: GoFundMe [View all]

Some of you here know I had cancer last year. During the surgery to remove it I bled out and had a transfusion. My surgery, surprise cancer diagnosis, surprise endometriosis diagnosis, almost dying on the table and starting chemo in a months time was a lot for anyone. Add on that I just started a new job three weeks before this happened and things have been rough.

I hate asking for help but insurance didn't pay for all of it. I still had the deductible and coinsurance and I had unexpected time off from work during this. I'm in remission now but the side effects have caused their own issues. The details are all at the link above. If anyone has a dollar or so to toss at a stranger on the internet I'd appreciate it. If nothing else go check out my bald photo.
