I don't know where else to go [View all]

three weeks ago my wife was diagnosed with bilary duct cancer and the surgeons have already done a liver embolisation to cause the other side of her liver to grow prior to surgery. Presently she has insurance and a job but I need to know what to do to try to protect where we've lived for the past thirty years.

on wednesday she goes in to have a chemo port installed

to put it bluntly, I'm scared shitless and don't know who to talk to or who to discuss these things with

any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
