Thank you all for your responses.He does seem to be extremely angry and frustrated.He worked two jobs before the cancer and he was always on the go.Once he was unable to work anymore everything came crashing down on him in a hurry.He could no longer keep up with his car note so it was repossessed(sp?).The credit cards have also been hounding him.I believe he has lost his dignity along with his health.As for what Gary said about being a role model,his father died of lung cancer 20 years ago when he was about the same age Joe is now.The same things happened to him,and his father died many thousands of dollars in debt because of his illness.I think Joe feels that his life is mirroring his fathers.He puts a great deal of emphasis on not having the means to keep up with his obligations.We have talked to all of his creditors and even had the doctors write a letter.They could really care less.I tell him to ignore them but everyday it just compounds.Does anyone have any experience with dealing with creditors in this situation????He has an appointment with his oncologist tomorrow and I will bring up the subject of some kind of medication to help him.(Thanks Bob).I will let you all know how is doing.
