God bless you and your angel brother. I appreciate your response. I have met with the social worker at Sloan and looked into American cancer society, cancer cares and every entity that I found. We earn too much to qualify. I am receiving social security. With the income of my wife, we don't qualify for assistance. I don't understand how people survive the financial impact of head and neck cancer due to the dental component. I need two separate surgeries. One for a spinal fusion since the tadiation fried by cervical bones and I already had my lower jaw replaced with my fibula. I need to figure out how I am going to be able to get through the surgeries before we lose our house. We have three kids we adopted through foster care that are special needs and a small ranch in Nj.

Anybody else go through this situation and were able to survive financially? I am blessed to be here to complain about this, I know and am grateful every day for the life that God has given me but when you can not afford to go out to the movies, or send thrn to a birthday party because we can't afford a gift, that's when I get depressed because my kids due without too.

Any ideas are appreciated. I can't locate anymore resources that I haven't applied to and been rejected. Thanks from the bottom of my heart and prayers for all of my fellow fighters.
