You have made us laugh and now you make us cry. I have never seen such an outpouring of love. You have touched the hearts of all of us here and we're not going to give up on you.
I will take a sentence from your post..."You guys keep fighting and encouraging others to do so."
You've read the encouragement and you've gotten some suggestions:
Pam did it with no insurance...you can do it.
Call Rob, see what he can do.
Colleen said it all..."Choose Life Petey", how can you disappoint her?
Hey, you even have a cheerleader in Australia. Helen made it, so can you.
So I'm going to put in my 2 cents here. I'm going to call Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philly where I was treated. Rob had a great idea. Maybe they know how you can get to a treatment facility without having insurance. We should all try and make the call. Somehow, someway someone has to find out something that will help you.
We WILL NOT let you give up.
