That is great. Distract yourself all weekend. I am so looking for positives for you. I have way too many people dealing with this right now. So many in the past. I include a brother and a sister who are dealing with the uncertainty of this right now.
I will continue to give my small amounts. I have just looked at the fund and it has gone cold

Laying in bed, wide awake and cant sleep. I got thinking outside of Videoslots, and Trada. I'm surprised more Casinos haven't come forward. Not that I am kicking a gift horse in the mouth, because I'm not. I went to one Casino that I played at faithfully for 10 years, and they shall remain nameless, but their response was if we gave to everyone we would be broke, Its gone beyond dead. Three visits all weekend it says. . I see my Surgeon for final visit Wed, My chemo starts on the 18th. And on the 13th I have a nurse coming in to teach me how to give myself needles. This should be fun, I have shaky hands. But I have to give myself a needle everyday , 5 days before treatments, to boost my t cells. Ughhh. Im going to go try and sleep.
Thanks. I am very sorry to hear about your wife. Life can be cruel. Mine is an aggressive form, I am her2 positive. I have looked everywhere online. I found one that might help but I am waiting for my assesment papers from Revenue Canada, and since its Tax time that can take a while. And congrats on being able to raise.Best of Luck Jennifer.
Are there any cancer charities in Canada which you maight be able to get a grant from?
We got a £300 grant from Macmillan and another £200 from another charity.
Got an electric adjustable bed with it
I was a full time carer for my wife for the last few years of her life.
The UK government gave me around £60 carers allowance a week to look after her.
I also qualified for Income support but then the government deducted the amount of carers allowance from my income support.
Dont get me wrong, but I would have done it for nothing if I could have done.
Unfortunatley, for the last 6 weeks of her life, she had to go into a care home, which probably would have cost £700+ a week.
She had three different courses of Chemo and one course of radiotherapy.
The radiotherapy ended up being the best course of treatment as it stopped the growth for over 18 months.
The tumour was inoperable because of where it was positioned in the brain, trying to remove it would have been a 95% chance of paralysis.
As I said, dont get me wrong as yours is different and is very beatable
I ended up raising just over £2150 for a brain tumour charity.
Some was raised on Casinomeister in a quiz which Dunover hosted and some casinos generously donated prizes, I came joint first IIRC but came second in a tie break draw.

I don't know if you can travel but at least here in the USA they provide treatment and help. My brother past last Easter of stage 4 lung cancer. He was a Vet and they helped him a lot. I hope things work out. You are in my thoughts.
Thanks. I just want this nightmare to be over! I called the city to see if they can help. Just plain crazy. Do they want the poor to die? I can't go on Disability because by the time I am approved my treatments will be over and hopefully back to work.
Try contacting the drug manufacturer.
And have you talked with your treatment team? You can't be the only one in this boat. It might just mean having it administered in hospital, or prescribing an alternate drug that is covered.
Also, talk to your pharmacist. They may know of other programs, or know what code your doctor needs to use in order for it to be covered. There is sometimes paperwork to be completed to have something covered that ordinarily is not.
My advice is apply for disability. Even if it doesn't come in until after you are back to work, do you get back payments from the time of application. I'm sure the money will come in handy to clear debts. You may also still qualify for drug coverage even if working until such time as your plan might kick in.

* Update.Woohoo!!! Saw the Surgeon this morning, told him about the Brantford Cancer Clinic, and how the Oncologist wasn't ordering important tests ( I had to go through my GP), how radiation was NOT an option, funding etc. His jaw hit the floor, radiation MUST be done. He is referring me to Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital in Toronto. Listed in the top 4 in the world. :notworthy:notworthy So happy right now!
This is great news. Great that you have a fantastic surgeon willing to go that extra mile.* Update.Woohoo!!!

That sounds like a great bit of news. I hope that the counselling goes well too

Hey
I was speaking to one my friends who happens to be graduating pharmacist in Ontario. He mentioned a program called the trillium drug fund for people who can't afford meds when undergoing treatment. dont know how it works....there is a cost to it....but might be better than paying for all the meds you need....or maybe you have looked into it....anyway....

Wow, that is crazy. I was thinking about you last night, and wondering where you have been. And this morning I was with my pharmacy getting help with filling out the forms for exactly that! I check my email when I got back and here you are I also went to the local disability office to get the package for disability. Apparently they cover a whole lot of stuff under their drug card. I have to fill out a portion, then get Princess Margaret to fill out the rest. It will take a while I am sure, but its like Jassy said. I could get back pay. They told me that it could take up to a year, and it use to take 2 years for approval How are you doing, and thank you!
Wow. Well that's coincidental for sure. And yes even if it takes a bit of time. Jazzy is very wise.
I've been busy writing and trying not to gamble so much.
Keep well and breathe.
And hope internet will be up and running sooner than ten days.
