For all the new folks, welcome! I generally make these threads every so often to check in on people, let people vent, or share cool news they have.
So, come on in! What's been going on with you lately? How are you feeling about it?
Remember, you are loved :stalin-heart:
As for myself, my partner's brain med switch is NOT going well at all. I've been trying my best to take care of them, but I know we just gotta wait this out. Other than that, my drummer seems to have calmed down after this weekend, and we're back to writing stuff. Getting the fuck out of this city for the rest of our summer shows. Beyond that, starting gabapentin today for my heart, and after having tried some from my partner, it seems to work decently! Also, I can get back to running today now that a foot blister has healed.
I only know Canadian charities and orgs for cancer patients (yes even in universal healthcare there are still expenses due to bullshit like travel and rent and losing your job and debt etc).
It might help if you reach out to a social worker. There may be orgs in your state that can get you short term relief. Your states government may have programs for cancer patients - medicaid may also apply for your situation and may cover a lot and getting some inpatient services hooked up could include social workers. It's sometimes possible to get short term disability due to sickness or get other coverage. Also, churches, synagogues, guduwaras, etc etc anything you can turn to.
I'm sorry this is happening
