My name is cody and I am 47 years old.  I live in Palatine illinois.   I was diagnosed with cancer in my uterus on June 27 2023.  I live alone and already live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck due to extra financially responsibilities due to a relationship ending.   So medical bills from appointments had already started to add up.  I then had a full hysterectomy on July 27th do remove everything I hopes the cancer was confined to my female parts.  My pathology labs however revealed it had spread into my lymph nodes so I now have to start chemo and radiation.   Due to surgery I was already out of work 4 weeks and now with this all happening the medical bills and missed time at work will continue.  I appreciate any help I could get.  I am not one to ask and never have been. I in fact have lived a very independent life.  But this I just can't do all alone.
