Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 nne: I have already done the search on the medication issue since I live with my parents and Grandmother their income together puts me way out of the guidelines for assistance. Doesn't seem fair does it? Their money goes to pay their bills, food, other expenses and my parents don't touch my Grand mothers money because it is in her will for her three children when she dies she is 90 and still going strong. She just drives us all crazy! But, we are looking into the Canada purchase. We hate to do that but we have no choice. What I don't understand is why is medication in Canada so cheaper than here in the USA? My meds here in USA cost 588.00 a month and in Canada it would cost 202.00 a month. Thanks for the encouragement. Hugs, Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Patty: I thought about renting a place to store my stuff. But, I won't be going anywhere any time soon! I have stage IV cancer the outcome doesn't look good for me right know. But who know what can happen in the future. I know you are new so you don't know my story I can share it with you if you would like it has been a battle since I was 33 and I am 37 now. But, I am alright with it I am in God's hands. So, today was hard getting rid of my stuff. But, as I sit and think about it right now it is better off that I go through my items to keep the things that are important to me then when it is my time to leave my parents will know what was important to me and remember me that way. But, I am not going any where for now I am going to fight and win this battle. Hugs, Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Ronda, I can certainly understand you being down. Watching most all of your things get sold has to be hard. You have every right to have some bad days. Everyone does. I sure hope there is someway you can get your meds. The dr should be able to tell you which ones might be free. If not get the name of the company that makes them and do a search on the internet. Thats how I found out about my Celexa. Its not your fault you had to file Chapter 7. You held on and tried everything you could. I am sure God understands that you had no other choice. Prayers for a better day tomorrow.

Hello All! I need your prayers today! I have been doing way to much! I just got a part time job where I work anywhere from 7-10 hours not much but enough for me since I am still fighting cancer. It is just seasonal so it will be done at the end of December I work at a story called "The Twelve Months of Christmas." I have been having fun this week I worked 7 1/2 hours and had a good time. Then my parents had a yard sale to get rid of our stuff it has been tough because Grandma had to move to my parents and than my appointment decided it would be best that I leave since I can't keep up with my duties because of my Breast Cancer and all the treatments I have to do and how my health is just going down hill. So, once the terminated me I moved in with my parents as well. So you have three house holds come together and our garage was full with all of are stuff. I had 15 bins when I moved here and now I have only four bins so I got rid of way more than half of my stuff. Today my Mom told me I have to go through my books most of them were my job books and I just cried as I said ok you can sell all of these books it was like my life was taken away from me. All I have done today is cry I am so down. One of the reasons is that I haven't been able to take my medication properly when I go see the doctor on the 21st I am going to see if my doctor can tell us how I can either get free or discounted medication. I have an appointment to finalize the papers again for disability and talk about getting help with medication. So, hopefully things will turn around for me. I also had an appointment with a lawyer because I have a tone of bills due to my health my health has never been good since the day I was born. I was a preemie and I have many other health problems like seizures, heart extra. I also had an appointment yesterday with the lawyer and decided I need to claim bankruptcy chapter 7. I consolidated all my bills and was with a company but they changed their name and I can't talk to any person so I am may have to sue them if my lawyer can't get the 3200.00 back from them with a little threatening calls or whatever those lawyers do. So, as you can see I feel like my life is falling apart. My Mom said today Ronda once we make it through this you can have a new start you will have a clean slate. I really tried to make it work so I didn't have to claim bankruptcy I don't believe that God wants me to do that but I have no choice in this case so I have to go through with it. If that company was doing their job it would have worked but they aren't so I have to go this way but it will be all right. The down side is that my lawyer said they may take my TV and my Laptop which is broken why they would want my laptop I have no idea plus it is three years old also. Otherwise I just have a few porcelain dolls and a few angels otherwise I have nothing unless they want my clothes I bought at Walmart they won't make any money off of anything I have at all. I pray that they don't have to take my stuff from me that is what I have to ask . I own very little porcelain dolls, angels, clothing, TV, and lap top that is all I don't have a house or a car so said my case is so easy since no property is involved. Well, tomorrow is a new day I don't know if I will still be down or not but today has been terrible and all I have done is cry and I could use some encouraging words. I don't talk about my down days much but here I am today down in the dumps. It's like my life is not worth much and why do I have to go through stage IV and lose everything else. If I didn't have cancer I would be back in my appointment being a minister to many young people now I am not strong enough to do much. I really enjoy my little part time seasonal job it has been helpful to just get out away from my Grandma for a while. I am sure I have bore you enough with my life's problems. I hope all of your days were much better than mine. Hugs, Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I am so sorry for all of your problems. I just cant imagine. Why cant you rent a storage place while you are going through all of this. It could be in your mothers name if that would help. I don't think it is bad to claim bankruptcy esp in this type of situation. The system is really not fair and you shouldn't have to go through all of this. Abe Lincoln filed bankruptcy 2 or 3 times.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Dear Rhonda, I am sorry for your bad day. You aren't the only one that is having one. So am I. I am so lonesome for my husband he has been working day and nite combining beans for around a month now and I only get to see him when he comes home after dark at all hours to go to bed and than leaves early in the morning again. Than I sit here and think about crazy things and this cancer. I am so confused about what my onco said to me on Thursday when I went for my 8th taxotere treatment. He said I could stay on it as long as I can tolerate it or say to him I need to take a break from the chemo Doc. I never heard of doing that and it just boggles my mind. Has anyone out here ever done that or heard of doing that? I wish I knew if anyone else ever did because I don't know if I want to do that. Yes, I would like a break from chemo but it sounds scary to me. I will have to talk to him more about this the next time I see him. He also said after my 9th treatment he is going to scan me again and than maybe we can tell more about what is going on with taking a chemo break. Rhonda, my husband and I have to file bankruptcy too so don't feel bad because of all our credit card debt and medical debt. We don't even have the money to get a lawyer yet and boy oh boy does the phone ring everyday from the credit cards we owe. I get so fed up with it. So you take care my dear, God Bless you, and hopefully better days are coming for all of us. Love, Sharon F. > Patty: > > I thought about renting a place to store my stuff.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Dear Rhonda, I am sorry for your bad day. You aren't the only one that is having one. So am I. I am so lonesome for my husband he has been working day and nite combining beans for around a month now and I only get to see him when he comes home after dark at all hours to go to bed and than leaves early in the morning again. Than I sit here and think about crazy things and this cancer. I am so confused about what my onco said to me on Thursday when I went for my 8th taxotere treatment. He said I could stay on it as long as I can tolerate it or say to him I need to take a break from the chemo Doc. I never heard of doing that and it just boggles my mind. Has anyone out here ever done that or heard of doing that? I wish I knew if anyone else ever did because I don't know if I want to do that. Yes, I would like a break from chemo but it sounds scary to me. I will have to talk to him more about this the next time I see him. He also said after my 9th treatment he is going to scan me again and than maybe we can tell more about what is going on with taking a chemo break. Rhonda, my husband and I have to file bankruptcy too so don't feel bad because of all our credit card debt and medical debt. We don't even have the money to get a lawyer yet and boy oh boy does the phone ring everyday from the credit cards we owe. I get so fed up with it. So you take care my dear, God Bless you, and hopefully better days are coming for all of us. Love, Sharon F. > Patty: > > I thought about renting a place to store my stuff.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Ronda it is always good to hear from you but soooooo sorry that you are having such a bad day....prayers that today will be so much better....I am sure it is very hard to give up all that you have and it seems as if there is nothing left....there is a saying "when you feel you are at the end of your rope.......hold on tight" don't know who said it or if those are the exact words but anyway Ronda HOLD ON... payers that your lawyer can do something to help you....know you love your job. I was elated when I could go out and do one hair cut....and still can't do a full or even half day but ever little bit is an accomplishment....Angel Huggs and God Bless Angelsrjb@... wrote: Hello All! I need your prayers today! I have been doing way to much! I just got a part time job where I work anywhere from 7-10 hours not much but enough for me since I am still fighting cancer. It is just seasonal so it will be done at the end of December I work at a story called "The Twelve Months of Christmas." I have been having fun this week I worked 7 1/2 hours and had a good time. Then my parents had a yard sale to get rid of our stuff it has been tough because Grandma had to move to my parents and than my appointment decided it would be best that I leave since I can't keep up with my duties because of my Breast Cancer and all the treatments I have to do and how my health is just going down hill. So, once the terminated me I moved in with my parents as well. So you have three house holds come together and our garage was full with all of are stuff. I had 15 bins when I moved here and now I have only four bins so I got rid of way more than half of my stuff. Today my Mom told me I have to go through my books most of them were my job books and I just cried as I said ok you can sell all of these books it was like my life was taken away from me. All I have done today is cry I am so down. One of the reasons is that I haven't been able to take my medication properly when I go see the doctor on the 21st I am going to see if my doctor can tell us how I can either get free or discounted medication. I have an appointment to finalize the papers again for disability and talk about getting help with medication. So, hopefully things will turn around for me. I also had an appointment with a lawyer because I have a tone of bills due to my health my health has never been good since the day I was born. I was a preemie and I have many other health problems like seizures, heart extra. I also had an appointment yesterday with the lawyer and decided I need to claim bankruptcy chapter 7. I consolidated all my bills and was with a company but they changed their name and I can't talk to any person so I am may have to sue them if my lawyer can't get the 3200.00 back from them with a little threatening calls or whatever those lawyers do. So, as you can see I feel like my life is falling apart. My Mom said today Ronda once we make it through this you can have a new start you will have a clean slate. I really tried to make it work so I didn't have to claim bankruptcy I don't believe that God wants me to do that but I have no choice in this case so I have to go through with it. If that company was doing their job it would have worked but they aren't so I have to go this way but it will be all right. The down side is that my lawyer said they may take my TV and my Laptop which is broken why they would want my laptop I have no idea plus it is three years old also. Otherwise I just have a few porcelain dolls and a few angels otherwise I have nothing unless they want my clothes I bought at Walmart they won't make any money off of anything I have at all. I pray that they don't have to take my stuff from me that is what I have to ask . I own very little porcelain dolls, angels, clothing, TV, and lap top that is all I don't have a house or a car so said my case is so easy since no property is involved. Well, tomorrow is a new day I don't know if I will still be down or not but today has been terrible and all I have done is cry and I could use some encouraging words. I don't talk about my down days much but here I am today down in the dumps. It's like my life is not worth much and why do I have to go through stage IV and lose everything else. If I didn't have cancer I would be back in my appointment being a minister to many young people now I am not strong enough to do much. I really enjoy my little part time seasonal job it has been helpful to just get out away from my Grandma for a while. I am sure I have bore you enough with my life's problems. I hope all of your days were much better than mine. Hugs, Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Rhonda You can go anywhere in the world and buy the exact same meds we get here for a fraction of the cost. When people ask why meds cost so much we are told, it is the cost to develop medication. So my question is, why are we, in the US the only ones that have to pay these very high prices? I really don't get it at all! So I have no problem with buying from Canada or from Mexico or from wherever. We are being hugely ripped off and it makes me madder than hell. Not only that but the new Medicare cards that our government has passed, will not allow them to negotiate newer prices. Also with this cards, a person had to sign up for a card a year at a time but the companies can change the price on them at any time that they chose. We are being so ripped off. I would like to take Bush to task for this. He is stopping the legal importation of these meds more so than anyone else. I am sorry but it really does make me mad. However, he is not the only one in bed with the pharmaceutical companies. NPR did a story on this I think just this last week. They give members of Congress high dollar trips which is legal, so they can golf and scuba dive and etc. Meanwhile, all of us little people get taken to the cleaners. Patty Re: Bad Day! nne: I have already done the search on the medication issue since I live with my parents and Grandmother their income together puts me way out of the guidelines for assistance. Doesn't seem fair does it? Their money goes to pay their bills, food, other expenses and my parents don't touch my Grand mothers money because it is in her will for her three children when she dies she is 90 and still going strong. She just drives us all crazy! But, we are looking into the Canada purchase. We hate to do that but we have no choice. What I don't understand is why is medication in Canada so cheaper than here in the USA? My meds here in USA cost 588.00 a month and in Canada it would cost 202.00 a month. Thanks for the encouragement. Hugs, Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy my little part time seasonal job it has been helpful to just get out away from my Grandma for a while. I am sure I have bore you enough with my life's problems. I hope all of your days were much better than mine. > > Hugs, > Ronda > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
