How much more am I supposed to take?
I found the love of my life in October of 2019.
We got along great, he is the best thing that's ever happened to me. In March of 2020 just as the world was shutting down and I missed some work before we officially closed our office I started having really bad pains in my left side, went to ER. They said my spleen was enlarged because of the blood cancer I indeed had...yeah...blood cancer. Was told I could do very low dose radiation to shrink the spleen and take oral chemo as well...On April 8th as I had repeatedly called unemployment since I hadn't relieved anything, I was told quite rudely by the agent I did speak to that I wasn't eligible and just because their was a pandemic going on doesn't entitle me to unemployment? Really? Went to my last radiation appointment after she hung up on me, only to discover that my blood levels were dangerously low, and I only mentioned it because my boyfriend said I should tell my doctor about it...hematologist took blood, only once since I left hospital 3 weeks before. My platelets were critically too low. Was told to go to ER, ended up spending 3 weeks in the hospital after finding out that my blood cancer hand progressed to myelofibrosis. They thought I was in a dire need of a bone marrow transplant right then. A social worker finally was able to get me set up with medical assistance and later food stamps....still no income. A work friend set up a go fund me, that took some off but went quickly and didn't help with a lot...phone car insurance....they put me on a variety of meds, some to build up my blood levels, some hormones to help, but soon they left me depressed and anxious, I felt myself lashing out at everyone. I checked into a hotel one night in the reasoning on committing suicide. My boyfriend called me saying he was on his way back to my house....I should have picked up and went home then, but I told him I was at a hotel to kill myself. We broke up, I went to hospital next day to tell them how I felt. Was there three days under consistent watch. They took my phone and all personal belongs away from me....my period started and never stopped until I stopped with the hormone meds. I still have a giant cyst o. My ovary that is also quite large, cyst is 7cm, and ovary is 8cm. I struggle everyday with missing my boyfriend and the depression. I still as of July 24th haven't received any unemployment. Early June my doctor said I was well enough to return to work with out restrictions, but I wasn't. I wasn't ready physically or mentally...I was tired all the time. I missed more work. I got a second doctor to tell me to be on less than 6 hours of work. Went back for a week, came in to hear I had a disciplinary action hearing for missing work while ill, they fired me in three days....saying my absences were not excused and approved. still not received any unemployment....still not getting any thing other then medical and food stamps, which were rejected last time I tried to use them....No rent paid or other bills, $1800 at least in rent I owe, $800 water bill, spoke to housing authority, oh they sent me something but I never got it because now someone is stealing my mail. Still been holding on hoping and wishing my boyfriend will take me back and give us another chance. It's the only thing that keeps me going.... tomorrow is the cutoff for all the covid help or relief. I have past due notices of electric, water, rent and all that....I stopped taking my meds , they make me feel worse. Tired of calling day in and day out to unemployment to never get through. Having cancer ruined my life and took everything away. My own parents don't even want me home because they are afraid of covid, they live in another state....I don't know how much longer I can keep going.
