Cancer Patient Needs Dental Work Before Continuing Treatment

My Story:

I am 61 and work as a custodian full time. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2014. I am currently working on buying my one bedroom home.

I have a lot of medical bills this year from having cancer. There have been a lot of side effects and my medical insurance at work was changed in April, complicating matters. My basic living expenses have been increasing. I can barely cover my regular bills, much less more medical expenses.

One Side effect of my cancer treatment is a weakening of my bones. Before I can start treatment for my bones, my mouth must be healthy. This means removal of my last 7 teeth. I have multiple medical bills already this year to pay and I am now desperate to pay this dental bill quickly to move on with my treatment.

This will financially help me get started on the work that needs to get done on my mouth so I can start my infusions which will keep me working and help me feel more optimistic about my future. I will hopefully get closer to becoming healthy.
