Subject: My father has cancer
Date: 05/07/2008

Hello everybody. I have been searching online for some place where i can find experience and encouragement for this sometimes i don't feel like sharing with my family becaue i have to be the strong one even if i'm the baby in the family.

My father has Stage 3 advance stomach cancer they removed 15 cancer tumors but there is more that they couldn't remove he will start treatment in 3 weeks he has respond very well to the operation (he is 71) but the hardest part hasn't come yet.We have no tell him how his treatment will be becasue he gets so nervous and we need him to be relax so it can help him.

our issue right now is that he is a permanent resident for 4 years and he needs 1 more year to qualify for help with the treatment and we dont know where to go. He doesnt have insurance and we don't know where to look for help. The hospital right now is helping us but once he gets out they won't be available to help. What it gets me angry is that the public service lady told us because he came in with his SSN and he is a legal alien they couldn't help him with free treatment .So because we are trying to do the right thing how we areĀ  suppose to thinking we will getting more help we are being punish and people who has plenty money and LIE about their names and legal stats go to the hospital for a simple pain in the nail and they get free.I'm sorry i didnt mean to mix the issues here but it is really upseting.

Anyway since I got this out of my chest. I will keep updates about him and I will be glad to received any kind of support or help with this

Thanks
